Inseparable... that was us!
Twins is what everyone thought, though two years separates our age. Rhonda and I have a unique relationship and because of that, you won't read about it in its entirety here; rather, you'll feel the Honor by what is NOT written.
I respect her for many different reasons: her persistence, dedication to life and those in hers, her taste and tenacity; however, the reason that I'll focus on today is... HER HONESTY!
"Realness" in today's society is rare; but, REAL she is. I have learned over the years to trust her honesty and though I may not always agree, I do consider and respect her view because I know it comes from a pure place. When you speak of this particular trait in an individual, it requires a lot of discretion. This type of person is invaluable in your life, you honor them and the roles they play so much that you don't do anything to hinder and harm it.
I love Rhonda and our relationship... we laugh a lot together, we speak honestly and truthfully without fear of being judged; we plan together and though we live different lives (we all do), they are very similar in terms of moral, parental and social beliefs. We both are very private when it comes to certain things and we honor that in and about each other. Trust is earned, not just given, and I TRUST her and her heart towards all things Dee. She is my little sis and one of my best friends and no matter where life takes us, she will always hold that title.
I respect and admire the intelligent woman that you are (Ms. Valedictorian) and the life that you have built for your family. You deserve to be HONORED for your commitment to excellence, your diligence and your many achievements.
I Love you always, and respect you even more. You have always played a special role in my life and I want you to know that when it was time to transition into the NEW those many years ago, it was YOUR input and undeniably heartfelt truth that helped me make the final decision. Still today, the thought of that day evokes an emotion of gratefulness for your presence in my life. I am the woman I am today, in part, because of your heart, for when you saw what you deemed unjust in my life, you had the courage and fiery determination to speak on it and see change. Your truth and honesty over 10 years ago won over any excuse I may have made prior. Thank YOU for that and I thank God for using YOUR TRUTH to break through the LIE and set me FREE.
This is dedicated to the one I Love... & LIKE! Today's Recipient is one of my most trusted sisters, friends, prayer partners and companions: A true believer and Woman of Destiny, Rhonda Poole.
