I got my layout at Cleanupmyspace.comMonday, July 28, 2008MY BABY...MY SON...MY MARINE.... Current mood: blessed Category: MySpaceSOMETIMES WHEN OUR CHILDREN ARE BORN, WE HAVE HOPES AND DREAMS FOR THEM, WE HOPE THEY GO TO COLLEGE, BECOME LAWYERS, DOCTORS, BASKETBALL PLAYERS OR SOMETHING OF THE SORT....WHAT PARENT EVER SAYS, "I WANT MY SON TO BE A MARINE AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY" NO ONE I KNOW OF....YET I THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR 18 YRS WONDERING WHAT MY SON WOULD CHOOSE TO DO WITH HIS LIFE... IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN I ASKED HIM "DJ, WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO TO IRAC AND FIGHT FOR ...OUR... COUNTRY ?" HE SIMPLY SAID," MOM, I WOULD RATHER LAY DOWN MY LIFE AND FIGHT, AND DIE FOR OUR COUNTRY, THAN DIE IN A CAR CRASH OR BY DRUGS OR BY A DRIVE BY SHOOTING...." I FELT SO PROUD OF MY SON ....YOU SEE I WASN'T THERE TO GUIDE HIM DURING HIS LIFE, TO BE A MOMMY TO HIM.... I MADE SOME BAD CHOICES IN LIFE AND LEARNED THE HARD WAY, HOWEVER , MY SON MADE ALL THE RIGHT CHOICES........I AM SO VERY PROUD OF MY DJ.... HE HAD A WONDERFUL PAIR OF GRANDMOTHER'S AND A DAMN GOOD DADDY TO RAISE HIM.... I FEEL SO BLESSED AND LUCKY , MY SON DIDN'T TAKE AFTER ME......BUT TODAY MY LIFE HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER...AND MY SON AND I ARE FORMING NEW BONDS AND FINALLY GETTING TO KNOW EACHOTHER........FOR THAT ALONE I THANK "GOD" FOR GIVING ME ANOTHER CHANCE WITH HIM.....SO TO MY HONORABLE SON "DJ" I SALUTE YOU AND BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOUR DOING FOR AMERICA...AND FOR BEING THE KIND OF SON A MOTHER IS PROUD TO CALL HER OWN !!!!!! YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BABY !!! I LOVE YOU !!!!
