Your Way

Your way started off small, and together.

Even from the beginning, you knew that you wanted a companion to travel with.

You shared everything together, including borrowed time.  You took on a bond that only a few will ever know.  

But in every life, there is a road that begins to divide: sometimes winding, sometimes rocky, and sometimes narrow.  Sometimes, the road is even easy–beware of these roads–anything worth having, you have to work and fight for it.

You’ll decide which direction you’ll take, and it may be different from one another.

And one thing I’ve learned about sisterhood, you’ll never be far from each other even if you do end up taking different paths.

You’ll each find your way, you’ll always find each other, and you’ll each continue grow into the beautiful woman that I knew you’d become.

Always be you at every moment, take the road less traveled, and find your own way.  If you don’t like the road ahead, make a new one.

Don’t be afraid of whatever obstacles come your way.  Face it head on with strong will, persistent faith, and a heart full of forgiveness and compassion.

Just always remember each other, and always remember where your road first began–

With your family.
