Like the willow ...
She bends and she flows with the winds of adversity. A “real” woman does not just happen. She grows and matures through the years with each relationship and every situation. And the things that have caused her pain have not destroyed her, but have given her strength and character. If there are lines left in the geography of her face, you can be sure they are lines left from smiles, not frowns.
For a “real” woman is not only someone you will want to know ... she is someone you could never, never forget!
She was preceded in death by her parents.
