I remember the night that the conversation was held. The topic at hand was openly-dating and my
skin crawled at the thought of you being interested in another man. But what was ironic about the conversation is
that I still had your attention. My mind
generated thoughts that feed directly to my feelings. I could see well-off into the future,
regardless of whether you could or not.
We had just shared our first real moment that sealed our forever-bond. And what was revealed to me, may or may not
come to pass. But how could I sit on
such a story and not allow it to bless someone walking the same lines that I
have.
That night we talked about your children, especially your
baby-boy. I cringed for the moment to
offer a finger and that he would one day grab and never let go. Shortly after that conversation, the next
thing that would happen, it absolutely caught me off-guard. I was introduced to a man that had the key to
my dreams and understood my vision without me giving him a visual at all. We shared stories back and forth, the ups and
down and trails that we both had been through.
How things haven’t always been exactly what we amounted them up to. He gave me two things: the first was a
point-of-contact to get some paperwork completed; and the second was an
invitation to an all-white event.
I really can’t explain the next thing that happens. So please continue to read, because this may
never happen. Due to the information and
invitation that I had just received. My
mindset fast-forwarded at least something that amounts to three. The all-white
event that “we” would be attending would be the celebration and anniversary of
the vision this guy helped put into passing.
But the one thing that he didn’t know was that this was the same night
that “we” created our own magic. |

“Thank you all for coming, I hope you have enjoyed yourselves thus
far. I don’t want to be before you long,
so let’s keep this show on the road. You
know that we are all gathered tonight for the celebration and the success of
this foundation. But what would it have
been without the mindset of someone with nothing but great expectations. It has been a pleasure to work with this
young-man from start to finish and now here to say a couple words, I give you.”
(Strong PAUSE after that last
paragraph! Take it all in now and here
we go!)

| What man wouldn't love to have a family to call his own?! |
I’ll never forget the first couple of steps that I took walking towards
the podium. The feeling wasn’t right and
I turned and looked over to you. The way
you looked me in my eyes, I knew that you were happy for me. But the twinkle in your eyes, told me, that
it was you and I, and I no longer had any worries. I stopped in my tracks and extended my
hand. With the baby in your arms, you
came towards me and I was then overwhelmed.
I always wanted a family and I always wanted to be successful. I stood in front of hundreds of people for
the first time without a worry.

I took in a deep breathe, I sighed, and someone from the crowd said, “It’s
alright!” I looked over to you, the
baby, and the kids one more time, put my lips up to the mic, and this is what
came out:

| Come through for me girl, stop playing games, lol! |
“For 5 years my foundation was nothing but a name. I tried my best to make it work, but some
things just wouldn’t change. I’ll never
forget the day that I actually signed the papers to make it all the way
legit. And since then, the Lord has
blessed me with a presence of a backbone I can never forget. Tonight cannot and will not be complete,
unless I acknowledge my support system.
This lady standing beside me has been more than a blessing. The exposure to her children has replenished
my manhood. The feeling of being wanted
and needed in a loving environment is everything for anyone to adore. I don’t think that any of this would have
been possible, without your love, nurture and care, fueling me to keep the
haters up-off-of-us. So yes this night belongs to the foundation, and yes this
night belongs to me, but tonight is also our night and this is why I’m on one
knee.”
