Happy Mothers Day.  To those who have held us, loved us, prayed for us, watched us die, cheered us as we live, ran errands for us, stayed up late for us, took us to appts, and never stopped doing any of it.....thank you.  You didn't have to, but yet you did,  and whether you gave birth to us or not we can call you Momma.  We are the lucky ones for the lessons you taught us we are blessed to hand down. To those we cried over, whooped (even in Wal-Mart), held, kissed on the eyelids, nodded agreement to (even though we didnt know what we were agreeing to), nagged, ran places, faught for, and did all the other  things we were taught through love to do, thank you babies. Also, to all the little ones most call pets, thank you for all of the former as well, you were our training wheels for it all. I love all of yall and God Blesses!

I reread it over and over...you see the devil had been beating on me so much that he slowly changed the focus in my life from being Go...
