SisterHOOd, a Bond like No other!

" I was given 2 biological sisters in my life. Although I have them, God has placed women in my life who have truly shown me what it is to have that sisterly bond. Today's blog is dedicated to ALL the women I affectionately call my Sissy, Big sis, lil sis and sister girl! Each of you add a puzzle piece to my life and I truly and honestly THANK-YOU"!

I HATE to admit this but I, Cheneka Trene' Hobbs IS NOT perfect and I do NOT know everything( Okay, mom are you happy, I'm finally shedding the weight of imperfection...Smile). I mess up, I say some truly mean things at times, I make irrational decisions from time to time, and sometimes I have the STANKIEST, FUNKIEST moods! But, you know what, that's what makes me human and a Woman for sure! And during those moments I can pick up the phone or send a text to my sister girls, tell them what I'm thinking, said or thought, or even done and INSTANTLY dialogue starts.
The conversations are never anything badgering or I told you so, But words of wisdom, strength, encouragement and LOVE that's needed from time to time.

Growing up, I was the oldest of 6 siblings( 2 sisters and 4 brothers). I ALWAYS found myself in protective mode, especially over the 3 brothers I grew up with. I was( and still am) quick with the tongue or fist straight to a chick who I deemed has hurt or disrespected one of my brothers. I'm still quick, BUT I've learned I cannot always protect them. And that some of their decisions are just plain DUMB( thank God they will NOT see this although I tell them all the time, Love you BFC..family insider)

But, deep down I've always longed for that feeling of having an older sibling to protect me. Slowly, but surely God began to place women in my life who have truly made the difference. And some of them you would think are biological because we've gone through some real battles as Real sisters would do. And in the end we talked it out, yelled and cried- But we truly understood the Pure- true Essence of Sisterhood and got over it and moved on!

This piece is dedicated to All of you- And I don't have to mention your names, because you will feel it in your heart if I'm talking to you!

My Friend, I call you Sister!!
Though Blood is thick, and defines Family,
Love surpasses it and bonds us like no other!
I call you when I'm down I call you when I'm up,
And your response is the same" Awww, Girl I got you"...

I never understood what it meant to be a little sister, until I became yours,
I get those check-in calls and text messages that let me know I'm being thought of!
It's NOT easy being a little sister BECAUSE at times I'm wrong(LOL),
But your response is always the same, Awww, Girl I got you"...
