Honey, let me start by telling you what happened with me and my friend. I’ll give you a little background history so you won’t get confused.
Me and Cheryl met in 4th grade and have been inseparable ever since. There are no secrets between us. I know things her family will never know. Our escapades range from childhood pranks( calling people on the phone telling women we were pregnant by their man or telling women that their man needed to call the health department because they tested positive for an STD) to stripping at clubs on the dance floor for losing a bet. We would both come on to a man at the club, then start an argument over him just to get his reaction. Most men fed into this waiting for us to fight. It was a good ego booster because we would choose the most unattractive and balding, not so physically fit man in the club. You’ve seen them, their belly cups the penis acting as a protective device.
We both have our own group of friends, but we would never allow anyone to infiltrate our little circle. Cheryl is the type of person that once she’s in your corner, no matter what happens, she’ll always be there.
Everything has not been all fun and games. We’ve gone through some rough times too. In high school we both struggled. I struggled with my honors classes and Cheryl struggled to get up in the morning and make it there everyday. Cheryl wasn’t a good student. No mater how much I tried to tutor her, nothing stuck. By test time, all the information had evaporated. I was determined that we would graduate together. Cheryl didn’t have to be the best student, but we would walk across the stage together.

About the Author
Grace Bryant, what can I say? Her name says it all. Only God can fit all of her attributes into her 4'11" frame. Her carmel color skin, wide round face, and dark brown eyes remind you of the dolls we used get at Christmas time. When she smiles, her whole face lights up, exposing two very deep dimples. Silly, witty, caring, thoughtful, compassionate and horny... That’s Grace.
She’ll empty her pockets to help someone in need. She’s quick to send an encouraging card, offer a supportive hug, or simply let you know “I’ve got your back”. Grace was married with children at age seventeen. Struggle was no stranger to her. She managed to finish nursing school and raise four children(who by the way are all honor roll students with outstanding leadership and community involvement skills) while holding a twenty-two year marriage together. YOU GO GIRL!
Grace has opened her heart and her home to family members, neighborhood children, stray cats, and anyone else in need, never expecting anything in return. She’s generous by nature, with a very humble spirit, and a gift to gab. She is by no means boring. She can talk game with the best of them. But, whatever she does, she gives it her all. When she’s practicing nursing, she goes over and beyond the call of duty. She cares for the physical problems, while lifting patients spirits with her wit, and comforting them with a genuine, sincere caring attitude. As one of the few parents involved in school activities, she organized fund raisers, school trips, prom dances, and supported the athletic department at her children’s school.
She defines the word friend. Those who are fortunate enough to develop a friendship with her, know that they have a friendship to treasure, for she is not a fair weather friend. When tragedy strikes, when you’re broke and in desperate need of money, when you think you’re just about ready to call it quits with your marriage, that’s when you realize what a blessing it is to have Grace as your friend. That’s when Grace shows up and shows out.
God’s grace and mercy are demonstrated everyday through one of his vessels..... Grace Bryant.
