In loving memory of my Dad...........

"I cry when I think of him. But even though he's gone, Daddy still teaches me. He has left me his dignity, family values, love and honor. He encourages me to be strong and to be the best me I can be. He reminds me of all the memories we made and reminds me of his kindness and courage. I know he hears me when I thank him for making me the person I am today. I thank him for all he gave me while he was alive and for all he continues to give me from heaven. I miss him more than I ever thought I could miss anyone. I will carry on for you Daddy and I will make you proud. I will live like you did and keep the things you believed in sacred within me. I'm always listening to you from up above. I know you're watching down on me."

Love you Dad.......

You never said you're leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That nobody could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Love You
Dad

Be thankful for all of the positive women in your life,

One of God's greatest creations is that of a woman.
She is an awesome example of radiance, magnificence
And stunning beautyelegance and confidence that only she can convey.

The world would be an empty place of existence
Without the touch of a woman…
Who would mend your first broken heart?
Who would chase your fears away?
The world is a much better place
Because of a woman's true inner being…
One of courage, determination and that of pure grace.

Be thankful for all of the positive women in your life,
For somewhere along the way …
They prayed for you-
Stayed when others left you-
Comforted you-
Held on when no one else believed in you-
Took pride in you-
Never lied to you-
Respected and protected you-
Nurtured and never forsake you-

Who could not love, honor and respect
A person who would give their all to you?
Let us honor all women not just on this day, but every day-
For some woman, somewhere has loved, honored and respected you …

Why not thank Him for one of his greatest creations?
For if it were not in His divine plan and some woman's caring heart-
There would be no you or I,So, why not thank God for women? .
She is your mother, grandmother, wife, sister, aunt or friend-
Always manifesting 

Mother.....

When you were born you looked up into your mother's eyes with curiosity and fright. As she held you and rocked you, the feeling of fright disappeared and it was then that you first experienced that wonderful feeling of love.
If there were no Mothers...
There would be no one to cross me safely across the street,
No one to give me lollipops,
No one to wipe away the tears when I fall and scrape my knee.
There would be no one to sit by my bedside when I am not feeling well,
No one to help shield me from pain and disappointment.
There would be no one to give me hugs and kisses.
There would be no one to give me unconditional love,
And tell me that everything will be okay.
There would be no one to talk to
And discuss the joys and sorrows of living in this painful world.
No one to get advice from.
There would be no one to love!

Mothers are very special people.
They put their lives on hold to perform the most difficult and thankless job.
My mother is the person I respect most in this world
And I cannot imagine living in a world without my Mommy!
I LOVE YOU MOM!

Dreams....

Dreams are made of
Wishes from the heart,
Some are granted
Some are not.
Take time to dream
A dream or two,
Take time to make
Those dreams come true.
Special dreams for you
Or for me,
Hold them close
For someday they may be.
Without these dreams
Would we try,
To reach our goals,
To soar so high?
Dreams are made of
Wishes from the heart,
Some are granted
Some fall apart.
But keep on dreaming
Those dreams for you,
Because you never know
Which dreams just may come true.

The World Around You Is A Reflection...

The good you find in others, is in you too.
The faults you find in others,are your faults as well.

After all, to recognize something you must know it.
The possibilities you see in others,
Are possible for you as well.

The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.
The world around you is a reflection,
A mirror showing you the person you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.
To blame and complain will only make matters worse.
Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.
What you see in others, shows you yourself.

See the best in others, and you will be your best.
Give to others, and you give to yourself.
Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.
Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love, and you will be loved.
Seek to understand, and you will be understood.
Listen, and your voice will be heard.
Teach, and you will learn.

Show your best face to the mirror,
And you'll be happy with the face looking back at you.

What Are You Going To Choose.......

I choose to be me,
I choose to be unique in every sphere of life.
The moment you don't know who you are,
Then you have a misplaced identity.

In everything you want to do,
Have the ability to differentiate between right and wrong.
It shows you will be able to stand up for something,
If you can't, you'll fall for everything.

Make many friends,
But choose the ones that will follow you up the ladder of success.
Life's path is just too tough for mediocres,
You have to be more than a mediocre to stay on top of your game.

Sometimes, things don't go the way we want them to.
That doesn't mean God is asleep,
It does mean he has a better idea.

People may not exactly remember
What you did or what you said,
But they will always remember how you made them feel.
