Who would've thought I'd have a soon to be seventeen year old son, who's taller than me. I've been busy with planning a wedding, marrying my best friend, Babyface. He's been a great guy and we've known each other for years. Fifteen years ago (2003), we had a baby girl, Peyton.

I cannot believe that my baby boy, Denim, is graduating next year. Just the other day, I was mourning the loss of my husband, his father, and his godmother - my best friend, Aaliyah. Denim and Ken both a loving relationship, and he called him, Dad the other day. Kenny doesn't have any sons, but once Denim called him that, he asked if he could be his son.
Sometimes I wonder how I got so blessed. Not even lucky, but blessed. I love my family and my children. I love waking up to the love of my life, although I had difficulty moving on from Keri. I was reassured over and over by my mother, and Karen, that Keri would want me to be happy and to live my life.
If only Aaliyah were here, to serve as my Matron of Honor. A couple of months after her death, Damon confided in me, saying that he planned to propose to her. It broke my heart to find out that she was also pregnant with their son. I know Aaliyah is looking down on me, and I'm trying my absolute best to carry on her legacy.

Overall, I'm blessed that my man loves me, and our son. I'm thankful that I had the ability to give birth to two wonderful and beautiful children that call me Mama.
