Dear Momma Luna

Although denied the pleasure of meeting you face to face, I'd like to

thank you for your eldest son. He's been my saving grace. I know his

greatest qualities were instilled in him by you, and so, I'd like to take

a few moments to share some of these wonderful things with you...

Cisco is the only man who has ever made me feel I'm loved.. He's taken my

children as his own, we are a family that nothing comes above. He brings

at least 10,000 smiles to my face each and every day... I don't know how

he does it, he just seems to have a way... His voice, it always soothes me

when I feel chaotic inside... I have no doubts, I could go through Hell

and back, as long as he is by my side. He is my inspiration, he gives me

strength to face the hardest days... Our love is one that will survive no

matter the obstacles that come our way. His love and understanding...

simply make my spirit sing.. it's been that way through all the days since

the very beginning.. His connection with our children (though I can only

speak on behalf of three), is one that is undescribable with words... He's

the best Daddy there could ever be... Aaron goes to great extremes to be

just like his Dad... He has the best intentions, even when his behavior

goes to worse from bad.. Sometimes I don't know what to do...There are

some days when I could swear, I'm dealing with Cisco #2.

Tianna, she's our "Picnic Bug" and a little more difficult to explain..

only because it can be like pulling teeth when trying to figure out what's

swimming through her brain... However, there's one thing that I'm sure

of.. she loves her Daddy too... She has him on what I believe to be the

highest of pedestals.. and anyone that dares to   Criticize him in front of

her (may God have mercy on their soul), for she will go straight for the

jugular, and rip a gaping hole..

And Austin, well God blessed us twice with our little light skinned

Mezcan... I know it was his love for your son, his Daddy that made him

want to live again. Austin was really sick two years ago.. and his Daddy

pulled him through... all the strength, devotion and courage he showed

through that time, he must have learned from you. This child will do

everything he can to make his Daddy smile... If he thought his Daddy

wanted him to, he'd walk hot coals for a thousand miles.. And to this day,

that boy will fight for his Daddy tooth and nail.. and he will do whatever

it takes to make sure he doesn't fail.

Some might think this letter to be insane or at the very least, out of

place.. And that's quite okay. For they may never understand that you had

a hand in leading me to your son, my saving grace... So, this letter is

but one very simple way for me to say "Thank you for the wonderful man

that your baby boy is today!!"






Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just my way of saying "Thank You" to one of the most wonderful women in the world. Sadly, she passed before I had the opportunity to spend time with her. Nevertheless, I am still one of the luckiest people there is to have such a wonderful soul watching over myself and my husband and children. I truly am blessed.
