It Pours

I held the phone against my chin and thought of the woman whose voice had brought me happiness and security at the height of the next phase of my life. I thought of the woman in the cabin who had come to make sure I wasn’t alone in the first steps of this new life. I thought of Jazlyn’s calm, friendly voice of comfort in my ear at a time when I felt my world spinning out of control. Then I looked up into the sky and thought of the woman who had loved me unconditionally.
It was these things I would hold on to. It was these women who would give me strength. And it would be these women that would walk this next path with me. I wasn’t afraid. I wasn’t alone. I turned from the sun as it dipped lower in the sky and let the heat warm my back as I walked toward the cabin.
Tomorrow was a new day.
