Almost 30 Years

Wanted to share this before I got on the road. This young lady, my baby girl, my heart, has been through everything with me. All of my high moments and the very lowest of lows. The lows I tried to shield her from but it didn’t always work. I remember her catching me crying from time to time when she was around three or four and her telling me things were going to be alright. Y’all, she used to rub my head like I was the baby.

Having a child at 21 and being single and being in the military stationed hundreds to thousands (she went to Turkey with me) of miles away from family was more stressful than anything I had experienced, but I made it. We made it!

So, if it seems like I write about her a little more than I do my son, it’s not because I don’t love him just as much, it’s because me and this baby have been through some things. And now that she’s an adult, every chance she gets to do something special for me, she does. She’s forever loving on me. Her fiancé told me that she had a bad morning yesterday because things weren’t going as planned. She had planned for us to do something and it didn’t work out. I let her know that being in her presence and with her was worth so much more than anything she could’ve planned. Y’all, I love her so much.

Okay… let me wrap this up because I can feel my eyes swelling from the tears and I need to get on the road.

Next month she will be 30 years old. Where did the time go? I am so proud of the woman she’s become and is becoming. She’s my blessing.♥️
