So for those who knew or met this very special Woman already knew how much I loved and adored taking wonderful care of her for the last 7 years... So Thank You for those who sent unconditional love, prayers, comments, notes, and most of all your loyalty and support...

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing... *{2 Timothy 4:7-8}*

When you can do the common things of life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world...

Stand tall or don't stand at all, If you don't stand for something you'll always fall for anything...

Love can be generated only between people who can be mutually fulfilling to each other, when one commands and the other obeys, there can be loyalty and gratitude but not love...*{Bell Hooks}*

So please sit back, kick your feet up, hold on, and please enjoy the ride...

She's very unselfish, confident, intelligent, and her style and beauty is uncompromising...
