Middle School. Moving On.


I am ever so proud of my children. My youngest completed kindergarten last week and today my eldest graduates from junior high school. They're growing up. Wow!

My eldest and her friend won their 8th grade talent show. She sang and her friend rapped during their performance of a song titled, "I made it" by YG featuring Tanea. I appreciate my shout out and also, how they recognized their dads. Watch and listen for the following lyrics...

"I made it, I graduated. I finally made it mama. I did it all for you. My daddy I got you even if you say I don't got to, cause you my daddy for sure."

I feel so special, that my daughter recognizes my efforts as her mother. She and I are so much closer than I was with my mother when I was 14. I was nearly parenting myself calling shots in my life as a teenage runaway.

GOD IS AWESOME!!! Yes, HE IS. THANK YOU LORD for saving me and mine.

This moment in time holds so much significance for me personally. Partly, because I'm getting ready to witness my eldest succeed in high school. "I can" hardly wait for homecoming, prom, and all the "things" that occur in high school. All that I didn't accomplish in high school, my daughters most certainly will and I have no doubt about "it."

A letter to my children:

Dear Beautiful Daughters of Mine,

I am so grateful being your mommy. I'll never know why GOD chose me for you and you two for me. It's something I wont ever question because you two are my gifts from heaven and I wouldn't trade either of you in for anything else. You both are so very special. Spiritually touched and protected by our heavenly father.

I owe you both. I owe you my best. Mommy has been coasting along and a little depressed about how cold "this" world is. I realize, that I haven't been functioning at my best. Simply getting by only. For this, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I have yet to try my hardest personally and more importantly as your mother.

We do well. Always have, but I'll say it's time that our little family does great. As the head of our family it is my lead, that you both have as an example. Mommy has work to do and because of you two I'll get the jobs done. This is my promise in writing to you both. It gets better from here babies!

I only ask, that you two continue as you have being successful students and the respectful girls, that I gladly know as my daughters. You both are awesome. In your own individual ways. I LOVE you just as you are and I'm raising you both to know your individual worth as children of the MOST HIGH.

Get ready girls. We're about to go places, that once seemed impossible. We're going to do things, that we never thought we'd get the opportunity to. Let us continue to love one another unconditionally as we journey through life's adventures together. I LOVE YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH!!!

With unconditional LOVE & SUPPORT,

Mommy
