To my little man "Manny",   On the day I held your hand for the first time, you grabbed my heart.  The best gifts in the world are not always wrapped in boxes. They also come in the form of loving sons like you. I must have impressed God big time for Him to give me such a wonderful and loving son as you. I am obsessed with you, just like you are obsessed with your Flags.  Even if I figure out a million different ways to express my love for you, in all those different ways it wouldn't be enough. I must have two hearts and one is just for you...

As a mother I always thought that I would shape your life in the best way I could. But little did I know that my loving son would be shaping our lives in a way that we never imagined.

I love you my beautiful son.

My sister Trina, she is one of my younger sisters. She and I have fun together when ever we're together.  She has been very supportive of Sam and I, she considered Sam her brother in-law even though it's not quite offical yet.  I'm happy she has agreed to give us her blessing, and be a part of our marriage ceremonly. We love you and apprecitate you. I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom.

Diane you are the eldest of my sisters and I want to thank you for being a part of our ceremony.  You have been supportive of Sam and I and that means alot. In life there are milestones each rare and some sweet, sharing with loved ones makes them complete.  Having you near on my Wedding day, you'll add to the meaning in your own unique way to the bond as sister we keep. One last thing I want you to know, I love you Diane, and this much I will say, no one could ever replace you.

Keshia is a lot like me in so many ways, she is creative, a motivator, patient, loving, kind, compassionate, trusting, honest, sincere, and I admire her strength as a mother and a daughter.  She is one of my dearest friends.  I appreciate our many late night conversations, the support and love, she has for my son.  She has no fear in going after what she believes in and making her dreams into reality!!!  When I told her I was getting married, her response was "I have been planning your wedding for a long time"!!! 

I am so grateful to have Keshia as my wedding coordinator and friend; I couldn’t do it without her!!!!   She has the strength and beauty of effecting people in such a possitive way.  I love her like a sister, she always have my back...
