Lord, people just don’t know how much I’ve prayed and gave just to be where I am right now. I wish that I could say that this journey has been easy but it hasn’t. Along the way I have dodge and jumped over many hurdles. I’ve been lied to, misused, taken for granted and taken advantage of. My fans and people on the street think that I have it going on and think that I have it made because of the number of books I have on the shelf, the clothes I wear and the way I rock my hair. What they don’t know is that so many nights have passed where I have cried until my eyes were swollen and my throat was sore because of all the problems and obstacles I’ve faced, some great and some small. But you being God delivered me from them all. You have been my comfort, my shelter and my confidante. It’s another day’s journey and all I can say Lord is that I’m glad to be here.
Dear Kyrese,
My gosh!!! You’re nine years old now which means that with each day I’m getting older, lol. Words cannot explain how much I love you. My heart melts every time I look into your eyes. I am so proud of you. You are growing up to be a very bright, charismatic, handsome and intelligent young man. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you.
Loving you with all of my heart,
Mom
