Strong women

I know a remarkable woman who recently lost her young son in a drowning accident. Another remarkable woman's young son was recently diagnosed with autism. Another remarkable woman's husband was diagnosed with cancer. Another remarkable woman just lost her father. Another remarkable woman struggles with depression. Another remarkable woman lost her husband at a very young age. Another remarkable woman just had a miscarriage.

I wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all you strong women out there. You are an inspiration to me and I draw strength from you. I am so grateful that you are willing to share your hardships, thoughts and feelings with the rest of us. Thank you for being an example of faith, strength and endurance.

We all have struggles, but we do not always share them with others. I have learned, though, that we can draw strength and comfort from each other, and that together we really are stronger.
