Now this is for the people who actually look past the pics...... My name is Ms. Woodgett, I will tell you my first name when we get on a first name basis. There is nothing really special about me. I am black and fillipina (dads black, mom filipina). I am real laid back and down to earth. I try to enjoy life, because life is a gift that is given, it is not promised. Each breathe that I take is a blessing, and I say that only because 2006 was a rough year for me. I lost my child in May, (that is his name written accross my chest). The irony of this story is, he is named after my brother that is under me, who also passed away. My brothers name is Ricky W. and my sons name is Ricky J. W. Life is short and never to be taken for granted. I appreciate every breathe I take, every move I make. I have learned that time is precious, so I dont let 24hrs. pass me by without improving something about myself. When I pray I thank God for the good and the bad, because the bad lets me know how good I had it. We all fall down, but the ability to get back up, is what makes you who you are. Mistakes have been made, and lessons have been learned. My child and my brothers death for me is not in vain. I am already making the steps I need to make to do a better me. If you get to know me hopefully it is a positive experience for the both of us, if not then it just wasn't meant. But all in all, life is a journey, you can either enjoy the trip, or stop traveling.

My brother, I love you. You are in Iraq fighting for a reason that is not clear to neither you or I. I respect you more now than ever, for your courage and your strength throughout this situation. Time is passing by slow, but you will be back in my presence soon enough. I pray daily for your safety and mentality to remin in tact. You have become the man that I always knew you would be. You have my respect, love, and my heart. I love you, stay safe, and Im here waiting on you to return.
*Reasons for living*
The picture of the two little boys, are the two reasons why I continue to go on. My motiviation, my inspiration, my heart, and my blood. My source of well being, and peace. My happiness and my joy. My blessings and never my curse. Although one of my angels, has returned home, his beauty and his presence still remains with me. To explain my five year old and what he meant and means to me, would take 100 or more of these pages. He was the true defenition of beauty, in every aspect of the word. If I had the determination, the courage, and persistance and will to live without any complaints that this five year old had, then I as a 28 year old would be a great human being. We take for granted the little things in life. When I say I am thankful for each breathe that I take, I mean it, only because I watched my son take his last. What I wouldn't give to give him my air, to let him inhale and exhale. Life's situations lead us into the path that we are to go. Mine has lead me into a path where, I believe I am to do great things. Everything I speak of, I live it. Its one thing to talk the talk, but to walk in it is different. For me, Im taking this negative situation, the death of my brother and son, or what u might perceive to be negative, and making something positive out of it. Hopefully, I can touch someone, enlighten someone to see where Im coming from. Life has truly been a journey for me, and its a trip that I feel blessed I was chosen to take. Not many people will consider it a blessing, but to me, the good, bad, ugly, and so on, its all a blessing to me. Whatever goes down, I still stand, and acknowledge God, because he is the reason Im here and still remain whole.
****************R.I.P. RICKY J. WHITSON*************** *************Jermon*********** This goes out to you, my husband, my best friend, my all. So I thought. You hurt me truly, you lied, cheated, and stabbed me in the heart. Through all this I still must thank you, because what you did for me is strengthen me, made me wiser, showed me that there are real men out there, and I do deserve to be treated like a queen. How did you do this? Everytime you tried to tear me down I prevailed with the grace of God on my side. When you tried to make me feel no one would love me, love was with me the whole time. When I thought I could not survive without you, you left and I grew stronger and have things and done things that could not be accomplished when we were together. You were my weakness all along. I just didnt realize it until you left. My son is no longer in a disfunctional enviorment, it is now healthy and stable. I am more confident in myself, and yes I must say looking quite good. And I wear a smile that is real, and no longer fake or a front for the public. Stress is gone, and life is wonderful, so again kudo's to you, you blessed my life even when that was not your intentions. I love you and always will, but I have fallen out of love with you, and you lost my respect. I hope you find this realness in your life that I have, that is when you will truly be at peace with yourself bro. Acknowledge God before it is to late, because revenge is his said the Lord and if good goes around so does bad. You will reap what you sow. May he have mercy on you when he does start dealing with you.
