For a Dear Friend

At age eighteen, she had a son.

At age nineteen, she was threatened at gunpoint by her fiance.

At age twenty, she was homeless.

At age twenty-one, she got fired from her job.

At age twenty-two, she found out she was pregnant again.

At age twenty-three, her infant daughter died.

Soon thereafter, her ex-fiance and ex-boyfriend teamed up and took her five-year-old away from her.

On June 27th she will find out if, after five long months, she can finally have her son back.

In the five years of knowing one of my dearest friends, she has been nothing but a mountain. No matter what is hurled toward her, she remains immovable. She is the strongest person I know, and the best mother I will ever meet.

Please keep her in your thoughts as she continues along the journey of her life, just praying to make it through each day.

My friend, I love you and your son more than you know.
