The best thing he said

Noelle Khalila NicollsPrayer Book

I know there is pain in my eyes. I know there is sadness in my heart. If I could rinse it out with water, or zap it out with an electrical shock I would.  It’s there, but maybe it’s no longer in control.

I know, you are strong, I already told you that. It’s why you can still give so much even with your sadness. 

He looked me straight in the eye: “You are a woman of steel.” The best thing he said all night. I’m pretty sure he didn’t realise what he was saying, but it was so special to me. I was just repeating it in my head and smiling. Yes, I am a woman of Steele.
