"She'll be a vegetable," the doctors sadly proclaimed when I was a toddler…
But the Creator had other plans for my momma…
For she was a Supernova 🌟 & a Survivor 💪🏾from the start & is fun & special in so many ways...
Here are just a few:
She is fashion- 👸💄forward
Head swaddled in green silk. A flower bud elegantly sprouting from one side showcasing a charismatic headpiece that would make Queen Elizabeth step aside and curtsy…
She is stylish 👗💅🏾
Her bright, eccentric, feminine fashions regally & effortlessly drape across her petite frame like sophisticated advertisements for a lookbook for one of America's Next Top Models...
She is pleasant 💖
Her almond-shaped, grey-rimmed, brown, Doe-eyes instantaneously radiate kindness to those in need like a supportive lighthouse expertly guides each mariner to safety...
She is sweet 🍭
Her raspy, syrupy-sweet voice is always ready with a compliment for anyone new that she meets...
She is soulful 🦅
Music is her language of choice to lift her spirits and those around her after a long day. Michael Jackson and Prince being two of her favorite dialects...
She is Calming 🌊
With an aura so simultaneously calming & welcoming that it makes you want to climb into her bosom and fall asleep until your troubles pass you by...
She is vivacious 💃🏽
With the leading of her gorgeous, colt-like, rockette-ready legs, she is always prepared to perform her signature Iron Horse move on any dance floor around town...
She is Caring 🎯
Her comforting words feel to my soul like sugar added to too-bitter lemonade; perfect & pleasing...
Father, thank you for blessing me tremendously in the Mommy department.
You have taught me so much through her beautiful life; most importantly that the most beautiful rainbows come after the biggest storms! 🙏🏾🌈
