Hey Everybody,
I just thought that it would be cool to give "Shout Outs" to all of those people that we know who are doing big things and/or have good things happening for them right now. Let me get it started by giving a shout out too...
1. Li-Li and Jay on the birth of their son Allen...can't wait to see him.
2. Nina and Karl on the birth of their beautiful daughter Wesli Marie.
3. My son, Kenny for doing an outstanding job in school again this year...that's my little 2nd grader
.
4. My mom for simply being my mom...Nobody on this earth could do it better than you...and I know it's not always easy. I love you!
5. My baby brother (and all other military personnel) for serving our country so proudly and bravely. May God bless you, keep you, and give you strength to keep going. I love you and I'm proud of you.
6. To all of the public school bus drivers. The teachers deserve their recognition as well, but we never hear about the school bus drivers (until they're involved in an accident or something like that).
7. A specific shout out to the bus driver of bus 602. I saw those little bad a$$e$ hanging out of the windows today and one of them had the nerve to have an umbrella opened hanging out of the window
. May you have strength and patience to continue to do your job.
8. DJ and Eboni, congratulations on the soon to be new addition to your family. You are truely blessed
.
9. Lovely Lay, congratulations and good luck on your debut performance this weekend. You're my girl and I'm sooo proud of you. Seeing you perform still bring tears to my eyes. Sorry I can't be there this weekend, but best wishes to you and the rest of the dancers. I love you girl!
10. My dearest Nick, you are the best of the best. All single fathers need to take a page out of your book. I admire you so much for the way that you take care of little Miss Candle (you are even good at maintaining all of that pretty hair of hers...that's hard for most women to do
). You are truely an "Angel" worthy of so very much. Words can never express just how much I love you. Thank you for being my "big brother" and one of my best "friend boys". You are the BEST!
11. My girl Tinisha for being that listening ear. You (and your husband) are truely an inspiration to me. I thank you for your advice and words of wisdom (and strength). Carlos thanks you too...if it weren't for you...well you know me
. Thanks for everything. Love you much.
12. My best friend "TJ", I know you hate that, but I'm a "TJ" too so it can't be that bad
. You have been there during the good and the bad. You never judged me and you've always encouraged me. You're better than a best friend...you're my sister (and the "greastest" Delta I know...Defiant #22) and I love you with all my heart.
13. All of my "TRUE" friends...TJ, Tinisha, Shica, Ali, Shay, Shandra (my #15), Niyah (my #7), Therman, Nick, and Vince (I do not treat you fellas like you're one of my gay friends...at least not on purpose...I know y'all like women...maybe a little too much...Therman!). It's not often that a person can say that they have three true friends, but I've been blessed enough to have ten. I love you all for being who you are and bringing so many special and unforgettable moments into my life. I couldn't ask for better because I already have the best. God bless and I love you all.
Okay, Okay, I know I was long on the shout outs, but it's your turn now
