I'm thankful for my daughter. I believe that she was brought here to save me from going down a path of heartbreak and pain.
I was 21 when I first found out that I was pregnant. I was going to the clubs all the time, I was drinking non stop. I even would go drinking before work and right after.
The night that I found out that I was pregnant, I was at a local gas station. Scared, I drove to the local wal-mart to get another pregnancy test. All 8 tests came out the same. I got nervous. How was I to raise a baby when I couldnt raise myself?
It got out to my family. I got scared and so did they. I stuck to everything that I believed in and on May 4, 2007 I had my princess.
She is more than my daughter, she is my best friend. My everything. My sun in the morning and stars at night. She is a wonderful, smart lil girl, and I am thankful for her joys. Her laughs, her cries, and moodiness. Im thankful for my daughter!

I am glad that you love you daughter so much that you changed you ways from going down a hard road of drinking in clubs. Your daughter is a very lucky little girl to have a wonderul mother as yourself. May God bless and keep you both...
