Got to Let Her Fly, a.k.a. (God to Led Her Fly)

Tomorrow, 01-06-12, my baby girl Kimberly will move out into the big, scary, real world for the very first time.  I will gladly kill anyone who tries to harm her.

I could talk forever about her (and I will later)......but for now I'll keep it short and sweet........like she is.

Many years ago I was a VERY young teenage pregnant girl.  I know many people thought "man - that girl will never take care of that baby".  Well thank God my most awesome mother Lupe supported me (with a broken heart I'm sure; I always think I'm strong - but there's no way I could be as strong as she was and still is - I WOULD DIE if my daughter did what I did) and I did take care of her (while accomplishing my own dream of becoming a teacher I must add).  I have never for a second regretted her, I have loved her with all of me, since I knew she existed.  I was always a mature teenager and LOVED being a mother (maybe I get it from my Gma Sanchez who had 13 kids).

I am so proud of what my Chelle has accomplished so far.  To be honest, I'm a little jealous of her - she's pretty much got the cutest body - from head to toe, has a great personality, a crazy sense of humor, a cute car, more money in the bank than me, a great job, the best mom that ever gave birth, and is pretty much living her dreams out with no regrets.  Her heart and head are what amaze me the most.  She is very giving, loyal, and caring.  But at the same time - she is brilliant with the way she thinks about things - people, problems, friends, foes - life in general. I will never worry much because she's so strong and speaks her mind - sometimes too much!  Independence at its best!  She is so open with me and I love it!  I love our talks that last for hours.  And Iove when she still needs my advice every now and then.

She moved in with her paternal grandparents about a year ago because she has a dog (and we are not dog people where I live).

I just texted her the following message......"I know this is weird, but I think God planned you moving out to your Gmas so that I could let you go slowly.  Because if you still lived here, I would be an emotional wreck.  LOL.  In less than 24 hrs. your life will be changed. So proud and happy for you :)"

I hope that the world is kind to her.  I know she'll be kind to it in return.  I trust that God will be her protection when I'm not. 

I know I must let her fly.............and she will be great at it!  I love you my Michelle.  I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I will love you forever and always. 

*please forgive me for lying about this post being short*

Why Blog in the NY?

I have been an Oprah lover for many years, and she has always encouraged journaling.  I journaled for a while, but it's hard to make myself sit down and write without my hand getting tired.  Fact is I am a very fast typer so it's much easier for me to type. I want my children, family, and friends to know about me - the real, whole me.  I want my babies to look back when I'm gone and read my thoughts to their children. I plan on blogging at least once a week. I'd like to thank Yolanda Fultz for having an awesome blog and inspiring me to do this.  I hope that I bring some insight into who I am - Just Jennifer.......and the loves of her life!
