Praying Through Menopause
Why didn't Mom tell me how bad this thing called menopause could get?! Hmm...probably because she went through the process of it relevantly smooth. Mom just had a few bad headaches, (to my recollection). And she had her last cycle at the age of 44. Well of course, I thought I would follow suit and inherit her good fortune. Wrong!!

Though the two of them were good friends, they spent most of their time together as perfect foils – arguing about everything from fashion to faith.
