Happy Sixteenth Birthday

Shining Star You're my masterpiece, my shining star my bright jewel, my inspiration for happiness sixteen years have passed in a moment and now you're almost grown but you will always be, in my heart, whispered quietly where no one else can hear... my precious baby girl

This poem touches on how I feel about my darling Aaliyah turning sixteen. It seems like yesterday Daddy and I brought you home from Anna Jacques hospital. In a few more years you will be off to college and Mommy will be all alone. I love you so much and look forward to seeing how you use the talent that God has blessed you with. Take God with you wherever you go because only what you do for Christ will last.

South High Cheerleader

Aaliyah tried out for cheer last spring and was picked to be on the JV squad. She cheered at her first game on Friday. South played their rivals East. It was a nail biting game but in the end South prevailed. So congratulations to the varsity football team and to the varsity and jv cheer squad who did an awesome job cheering their team on. Way to go ladies.

Newly and Sheila

Newly and Sheila Something wonderful and amazing has happened to me. Something I thought would never happen again. I am in love. Not only am I in love but the person that I love was my very first boyfriend. Who knew that 39 years later God who navigate our circumstances so that we would reconnect. There are days when I stop and think is Newly really back in my life. This is crazy. This is bananas. Wow! We loved each other when we were 14 and 15 years old and we love each other now. How amazing is that? To God be the glory. I pray that we never take each other for granted and never let anything or anyone come between us. Ride or die boo ride or die.

Happy Birthday Kristina Morgan Young

Two days after celebrating Aaliyah's 15th birthday it was time to celebrate Kristina's birthday. I won't tell you how old she is just in case she doesn't want it known. Lol! I had to work this year so I was unable to go out to dinner with the crew. Of course she went to her favorite place Earl's. Well even though I was not there physically I was there in spirit. Happy Birthday Kristina Morgan Young aka Krissie, Nina, Tina, and Stina girl. Love you!

Happy 15th Birthday Baby Girl

"Your daughter will hold your heart for a little while but she will hold your Heart for a lifetime." On December 24th we celebrated Aaliyah's 15th Birthday. I can't believe my baby is a teenager. Well in the morning we sang happy birthday, opened presents and ate cake. That evening we went to One Up for dinner and to play video games. I had a hamburger on a doughnut and although this sounds weird it was really good. After dinner we headed to Zoolights but it was too cold so we decided to try and come when it was a little warmer. Well Miss Aaliyah I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I wish Daddy was hear to see how much his baby girl has grown and how beautiful she is. Love you sweet pea!
