Queens, Goddesses, Saviors Of The World

For those of you who have had the fortune of having your life's path crossed by Feleshia and Amanda, your "I Have Had The Fortune Of Knowing Feleshia And Amanda" t-shirt will soon be in the mail. Hanes, Jockey and Fruit-Of-The-Loom have all put on extra shifts. My friends and family positively adore these women. Every time that I talk with my father he asks, "How are the girls doing?" They all wonder how I can be so lucky having friends like them. Oh, they are not perfect. Feleshia cannot keep her craft beads separated and Amanda has a strange thing going on with Chex-Mix. Now you know the ugliest aspects of their lives. They have tolerated my assorted antics and strange pecidillos for more than a dozen years. They have helped me through all sorts of crisis' in my life. I have always known that things were going to be o.k. because Feleshia and Amanda are here. Their compassion is more wide spread however. Mother Theresa, Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. could all learn a thing or two from them. And they throw the coolest parties. Lots of food, a great assortment of people and plenty to drink. I won't even mention the menagerie of animals in their home. They have also made admirable strides in their own personal lives - strides that they as well as their families should be rightly proud of. I am not going to try to figure out how I lucked out. I'm just going to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. At every rest stop I will however get out of the car, kiss the ground and thank my lucky stars.
