~*~I'll Always Be~*~

My Dearest Children,
From the day each of you was born, I was there.
I still remember the smell of your hair, your first
smile. I cherished each and every moment, from your
first step to your first head bangin' fall. Yes, you
all were quite adventurous. Like the day, you, J,
climbed the four shelf bookcase to get a ceramic raccoon.
Just when you thought those little hands had a grip,
it fell right onto your cheekbone. You didn't cry, you
sat there and played with it, though a small bruise
spotted your cheekbone, and with juice drool down the
front of your gray sweatshirt, you looked like a fighter.
And B, you just had to take Shaq, for a walk, but with
your rollerblades on? As I sat at the table I could only
watch as he came around the corner fullspeed, you slidin'
across the pavement, talk about roadrash!! but you got
right up and came on home, never lettin' Shaq go. We
fixed up the damage and you were off again, on your bike.
Shaq in the lead!!! And you A, the crib climber of the
three. In and out, finally I just took the rail off!!
And these monkey bars, you were first to cross them,
even thought J and B were older. For all those times,
I was there. And your friends recall times I was there
for them, too.
Somesdays you were so independant,
others not so, and I respected each time.
One thing I never instilled in you guys was fear,
until the time came to teach you streetsmarts.
Then it was for your safety, it's a troubled
world out there and you all needed to know how to handle
sticky situtations. Like the day you, B, and A were playin'
in the yard and a stranger pulled up, B, you took A by
the hand and backed her up, I stood in the doorway,
I heard you yell " it's that way somewhere" and than
came into the house. You were always protective of your
little sister. I was so proud of you at that moment.
Knowin' I taught you well!
Though I do not live with you all anymore, You know I
will forever, always be here for you, your Dad and I only
want the best for you. We will always work
together to pull you through the best and hardest times.
Know that, believe that, for it is you guys that I,
live for, someday the Lord will take me with him, I pray
its before he takes you.
In the mean time, I'll be here for you, to hold your
hand, to carry you through, to just listen.
Mom loves You 3.
Mommy

P.S. Mom, thank you for always bein' there for me!!
