As a young child I dreamt of getting married and having children just like my grandmother did. She was married for over 49 years before she passed away last year. She taught me how important it was to create a relationship with someone who will love me first. When I met my husband at the young age of 16 I fell in love quickly. My grandmother supported the relationship because she saw how happy I was but warned that a broken heart will come sooner than later. She knew what a relationship entailed and taught me to love only when love is given. For a successful relationship to last you must love hard and learn from eachother everyday. For the last 20 years I have loved hard and my husband has loved me back. We have two wonderful, intelligent young men Elijah 15 (plaid shirt) and Khalil (11). Our relationship with our children are the most important thing we have in life. We both believe that we live for them and encourage them to love one another and respect our family.
God has blessed me with a man and children who love me each day for me and all my faults and I thank him each day.
