#MOI Love her & wish her a glorious & glamorous life❤️
Happy birthday my person
I am the author telling you, while reading my books, remind yourself: It’s life, not a book; It’s a woman, not a character; It’s reality & not a story!
Born to be happy; born to succeed… I guess the beginning is meant to be crooked; I got used to it.
Why PART II? This year, I wrapped up a phase of my life to start another marked with the loss of my mentor, in a different country, and plan-less… Carrying forward from the past a suitcase and lots of memories; some painful, some fading away… but all of which helped shape the person I am today.
My life is restarting as if it is in take-off mode; when I envisioned the birth day, I said, Hey, Mommy, are you there? …that was the answer! Silence was the answer! and today, as I am standing at life detours, I say, Hey, Mentor, are you there? …that was the answer! Silence was the answer!
I like to think they are together, cutting a cake and celebrating my life… That is what the positive side of me would say! However, with tears and longing, I say, I am happy you are together but I admit I miss them dearly. Hey, can you hear me… send me a sign that you do, send me a sign that you are with me, tomorrow when I am cutting my cake!
#MOI Cheers to the ongoing journey, I know this is just a detour!
I am an author, and I am the voice of the voiceless; I am telling you while reading my books, remind yourself: It’s life, not a book; It’s a woman, not a character; It’s reality & not a story!
The abuse was everywhere… read the story of 1 survivor in Life’s Detours: Alexandra’s Choices
Check Mommy, I am a PACER! & See how Abigail used her heart before her mind… Check Life’s Detours – Alexandra’s Choices and how Alexandra’s love life was a raging ocean until it landed on golden sand… Check my biography: Where is My Angel? The book reminds us that believing in love is the key to unlocking all deceptions.
This is the time of the year when I celebrate my dream as a mother, the dream I had since I could dream. With time, I learned more about motherhood and polished my skills of fixing communication skills with my children. Amazing how fast they grow; they grow away and become independent. Amazing how they manage themselves and their day-to-day life. Amazing how, with time, they build their own life and career.
It is amazing how when we look at them and remember the tiny little child we brought into this world and promise to protect forever, & then we become their protectee!
Last night, I chose a message from the past to resend to my firstborn daughter this year that said:
To the world, just another baby girl was born… to me, you were my world! Make a wish & see it happen… I saw mine!
& this year, I tell her, “I wish you find in your life the happiness you brought into mine! Happy Birthday my butterfly ❤️ 🦋🧚♀️”
As planned by the medical team, she was born on schedule, at the crack of dawn, and brought a burst of new sunshine to my life. She joined her family, the one long waiting for her. The anxiety I was living disappeared the second I held her in my arms; my joy was unexplainable the minute her sister Vanessa woke up in the hospital, left her portable crib, and came running wobbling in her yellow footed pajama, jumped on the hospital bed, put her tiny little hand on the cheeks of the baby, kissed her on the nose, and asked to carry her… and from there on, it was the three of us!
Too many details, but it is was a picture I cannot forget; it was a picture drawn for life in a moment, showing how the future will be.
Her name was chosen, came with her, and was sent with her; she was my gift from God and the answer to my prayers; she was a TIFFANY, and that was the meaning of her name.
Being a mom has been my dream since I ever remember, and having a family was my goal. As I said yesterday, it was one item crossed completed on my life bucket list.
Tuesday, January 24, 2023, happened the matching day of the week of her birth in 1995; I am sitting here thinking about every mother’s concern: what will it be? Life is a package of surprises, some we like, some we dislike, but one thing we cannot deny is the amount of love a woman discovers in herself once she becomes a mother. All I can say, you never know how protective you become until you have to protect your child… & you never know how much love you have until you have your own child to love!
#MOI Happy day, it is for me, proud mommy, and happy birthday to my grown lady! Dear Tiffany, here are my 28 wishes for you on your 28th birthday: Live, Love, Laugh, Dream, Live, Love, Laugh, Dream, Live, Love, Laugh, Dream, Live, Love, Laugh, Dream, Live, Love, Laugh, Dream, Live, Love, Laugh, Dream, Live, Love, Laugh, Dream… God bless you with health and happiness!
