Dear Daughter
Dearest daughter, To my oldest daughter...you are number one of my two. How much I truly do love you. I hope you knew, or know to this day. This letter is long overdue, there is so much to say. You are 17 now my dear. You grew up so fast. The time has just flown past. For so long, it was just me and you. Being a mother was, and still is my life. I tried my best to protect you. I never spoke poorly of your dad. Even when he stood you up and made you sad. As you grew, you saw him, his family and the situation for what it is. You have always been a clever kid. You are so smart. So beautiful and extremely talented. Your artwork is outta world! I am so proud of you baby girl. I know you have insecurities and abandonment issues too. It's ok, you are great and excel at everything you do. You are the blueprint. You taught we how to be a mom. We pretty much grew up together. I regret NOTHING! We are birds of a feather.

The Ripple Effect
When I was in high school, I had a habit of going for a walk during my lunch break. I loved the feel of the sun on my skin and the fresh air in my lungs. One day, as I was walking down the street, I noticed an older man sitting alone on a bench. He looked sad and lost in thought. Without really thinking about it, I walked over to him and started a conversation.
