SHE WASN’T A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE….

Working Girl

But she is still my baby girl…

And one of the greatest blessings in my life…

I am sorry I haven’t given you a perfect life…

I wish I could have kept you wrapped up and safe like the day I brought you home…

But I could only love you and try to show you how to be strong…

I am proud to be your mother…YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

YOU ARE SMART.

YOU ARE KIND.

YOU ARE TALENTED.

YOU ARE POWERFUL.

YOU ARE BLESSED.
