I turned 41 yesterday. I had a great day. My mom took me out to breakfast. Then I went and got some new outfits with a giftcard my brother gave me. The day actually helped revive me and feel like there is hope. I am hoping and believing that the year ahead is going to be different than the past few years and that my kids and I will be blessed and things will change for me. Even though I turned 41, I feel like I turned 31! Thanks to my family and kids for making my birthday a special day.

I listened to her yell with her squad the soldiers creed. As I sat there looking at her, many thoughts crossed my mind. Over and over again I thought to myself how blessed I am to have such a beautiful daughter both inside/outside. If it wasnt for her, my ex husband, his wife or me wouldnt have been able to see her graduate. So many things I have missed in my daughters 18 yrs of life. Due to a drug addiction that I had, I missed 5 years of my daughters lives. When I cleaned up and came back around, all 3 of my daughters let me back in their lives and over time forgave me. And while I can never make up for lost time, I was able to be there for something so important as what my daughter had decided to do with her life. I sat there next to my ex...
