I was getting my make up done when I heard a knock on the door. When rina went to open I saw Melanie and granny Sheila. Oh my god my little girl looked so beautiful in her flower girl dress. 

Rina: Mel you look beautiful 

Melanie: I know im killin all of yall 

jayda: not me 

Melanie: even you auntie Jayda 

Rina: Okay little diva you ready to be the flower girl 

Melanie: yes I been practicing wanna see my walk 

Tiana: sure baby girl 

Melanie: okay hit music 

Denise: uh music 

All of sudden the intro to crazy in love came on Melanie put her hands on her hips and looked around the room

Melanie: you ready mommy 

Denise: gettem baby 

She started to strut down the hallway like she was walking on the fashion runway. When she stopped at the end she began to do the nae nae 

Denise: wow baby you gone kill the show. All attention gone be on you 

Melanie: Of course

Mama shelia: can yall give me a moment with my daughter in law 

Everyone left the room and I sat down across the table from mama shilea. I never really had a family until I got with Anthony . I didn't live in the normal household I didn't have a mom and damn sure didn't have a dad. i lived with a foster ma and we didn't get along. She was jealous of me I had the long hair and pretty skin. She was lonely and never had a man and when they did come around. They would try things with me things that shouldn't try with a little girl. I don't like speaking on it because it makes me emotional. When I got pregnant with Melanie  I promised god that I would be the ma that I never was given. Me and Anthony will be in her life at all times.god blessed me not only with love but also with family 


Mama Sheila: you look beautiful 

Denise: thank you 

Mama shieila: you and my son have come a long way huh 

Denise: yes a very long way 

Mama Sheila: I want to thank you 

Denise: for 

Mama Sheila : Helping Anthony smile again when we lost mel ( tears) he would never smile. At his funeral he was completely silent. He wouldn't talk he wouldn't smile he shut down. But when he got into his music he began to live again. He brought his brother alive with it. ( laughs) I remember the day he saw you he called me and spoke like he won the lottery. He was so happy and then when yall got pregnant with Melanie oh my god I think that boy was happy as oj when he got off. Denise you brought some much in his life and I just want to thank you for that 

Denise : Thank you for being there for me, I never really had a mom in my life. Even though I am grown woman I have learned so much from you .the way you raised Anthony and Travis as a independent woman. You are the most courageous woman I have ever met ( tears ) . thank you for raising your son to be the man he is today.
