TO MY BABY GIRL WITH LOVE II

It seems like yesterday I laid in the hospital bed for two weeks anticipating the birth of my child. I had gone into premature labor and the doctor decided that my baby needed more time to develop.One thing is for sure when my baby decided that she was ready to make her entrance into the world, she came with flying colors.I'll always remember how eager her daddy was as he laid next to me in the hospital bed holding my stomach. I remember me elbowing him to wake up because my water had broken and he needed to get the nurse. It was so chaotic that morning. He was more nervous than I was. As they took me into labor and delivery, he walked right beside the bed holding my hand. Every time I experienced one of those labor cramps I held onto his hand for dear life. My labor was not long at all, I was blessed with a beautiful little girl. Today I recollect that day because my little baby is no longer a little baby, she is a young lady. She graduate from high school on Saturday, her birthday is on June 1, she will be going off to college soon and God knows I will miss my baby girl.
How do you tell your child to go and not to look back, you want her to see life through her own eyes and you want her to always remember the bridges that brought her over.
I want her to go and never look back because as I look back over my life I have so many regrets, yet I am whole. I want her to know that there is more to life than staying in her hometown, that she is the person to make the final decision about the choices that will arise, and most of all that she will never find love in someone else until she loves herself completely. I love her so, her smile, her personality, her heart; there is so much to love about her that to name it all. I look back at some of the times that I could have done things differently and I desire to see her reach for every little thing that inspires her heart.

If my baby girl is able to see things through her own eyes, when she does take the time to look back over her life, she will not regret the choices that she makes because she will have made the decisions on her own.
Graduation has brought on so many thoughts and so many plans, I know that God will guide my princess to her destination with dignity. I look forward to seeing the woman that you will become to Courtney Simone Rhynes with love.

I know that has to be some sisters and some brothers who have given everything they have inside of them to better a relationship, only to find that the love has diminished, the trust has whither and there is not enough love left inside of you to even try to make it right. I mean face it, after you given up everything to please someone else, when reality sets in there is absolutely nothing left to give. So what do you do when the love that you thought would last a life time turn into the nightmare you wished you had never found. Do you turn and walk away? Do you continue to think in your mind that things are going to get better? Do you sit and talk hoping that something in the same words you have spoken over and over again will make a difference. Is it that hard to give up what you know is not good for you? I would not be the person to give that advice to my best friend, but I will say this never stay where you are not 100% free to be yourself, never allow anyone to rip your soul from you. You are a child of god and he gives you the sense to know when the time has come to release your problems, people and situations back to him. Remember no matter how much we won't to love someone to death, don't allow that love to be the death of you.
