i live just like a woman,
make love just like a woman,
ache just like a woman.
but i break...just like a little girl.

i just got off the phone with alystaire. and i am just appreciating our conversations. they get to be very woman-like but we tend to conclude that we will always be the daddy's girl that we are. we reminisce about our growing up, she being in an american school and my hopping from one province to another. or how funny that when other girls were playing with dolls, we were in the firing ranges with our dads. also the fisihing trips that we thought were a waste of our time, but are part of the package that made us the woman we are. we give ourselves affirmations that we never really got to tell each other when we were living in the same country. but it's never too late! now I feel our relatinship growing even if she's in the other part of the globe. we get to talk about the impact of the decisions we have made in our lives, the carrer goals we have been thinking about and the men that seem to confuse use every now and then. sharing how we continually deal with the insecurities we have as a person. the vanity and spontaneity. don't we just love life?

its funny that because our parents were bestfriends then we became almost like sisters. you, me and angelsa. tres marias as they used to call us in church. and our being the only girl in each family made the realtionship even more solid. oceans may keep us apart physically, but our souls will always reach each other in prayer. i love you both to the core of my being. to eternity and beyond.
