My friend Amy posted this on Facebook. I just love it.

A
little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a
woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mum just hugged
him and said, "And you never will." "All women cry for no reason," was
all his dad could say. The little boy grew up and became a man, still
wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got
on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God said:
"When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders
strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to
give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the
rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness
that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take
care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I
gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all
circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her
strength to carry her man through his faults and fashioned her from his
rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good man
never hurts his woman, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve
to stand beside him unfaltering. And finally, I gave her a tear to
shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed." "You see
my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she
wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The
beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway
to her heart - the place where love resides."
