In the midst of the verdict last night, it saddened me to know that there was not enough evidence to even ACCUSE that cop of killing a child. A child is dead, is that not evidence? A judge and jury should make that determination. I just feel so sorry for any parent that has to go through losing a child by any means.

After watching the verdict and with so much emotion, my Baby Girl and I had a FaceTime date. With her being in NY and me here in CLT, it’s hard to celebrate special occasions. But a Mom will find a way! Christina said this year she was going to be “Fearless”! And fearless she is. She started her new position at WBLS and she’s doing an amazing job!! Landed her account from start to finish by being “Christina”! I salute you today Baby Girl! On our FT date, we shared a toast and I was the toaster! As I told her how proud I was of her, I watched the tears roll down her cheeks. I know they were tears of fulfillment for being fearless, accomplishment for doing a job well, pride, for making MOMMIE proud, and hurt for what we had just witnessed on TV.

With all the emotions going on between the both of us, point is..celebrate the life your child leads!! Celebrate everything! Our children need us. If they are 3 or 33 or 53. Let them know you are proud, give them encouragement. Be their biggest fan. And when you do all you can, you just stand. Stand and watch the tears of joy you and them will shed for life.
Don’t let a moment pass where they don’t feel you appreciate the things they do!!

And kids, remember…everything you do, every action, every thought, your parents worry about. We want to keep you safe, we want you to go home every night, we want you to grow up and give us Grandchildren, and most of all, we want to see you alive and living!! I celebrate today as some parents grieve. And parents, always know, that we can easily be doing either. Just love your children, support them and do all you can for them. It never goes unappreciated!!
Have a blessed day!!!
Love and Hugs
