To the little girl who prayed every night for her father to live with her and her mommy
I remember you
To the little girl
who always felt alone and wanted a little brother or sister
I remember you
To the little girl
who wanted her father to keep his promise just once and show up
I remember you
To the little girl
who loved to sing and dance
I remember you
To the young
teenager whose body changed so quickly while your emotions and thoughts
struggled to keep up
I remember you
To the teenager
who craved the love she never felt from her father and found all the wrong
things at such a young age
I remember you
To the teenager
who was brave and left home at 14 to attend all girls boarding school
I remember you
To the young woman
who graduated in the top of her class after struggling to catch up
I remember your
struggle
To the young woman
who wanted to change the world and make a difference but got sidetracked
I remember you
and I still
believe in you
To the young wife
who struggled to provide the safe loving environment you craved as a young girl
to your newborn son
I remember you
and I supported
your efforts
To the single
mother who vowed to survive and give her son the best possible life
I remember you
and I supported
and applaud you
To the young wife
again who tried to make the best of all the challenging situations that came
you way
I remember you and
I believe in you
and
I know you did
your very best
To the single
again mother who struggled to keep the kids on the right path but succeeded in
spite of all the challenges to get them all across the stage on time
I remember you and
I applaud you
To the
professional woman who literally started from the ground and worked her way up
breaking barriers and leaving your mark
I remember you and
I am so very proud
of you
To the woman I am
today I am so very proud to have been on this journey with you.
I have lived
I have laughed
I have cried
I have learned and
I have loved every
moment of my journey.
I vow to always remember you.
