A Letter from my aunt

TO MY TWO NIECE'S
1/10/06

Destined2bd1 and BDM. I remember the day(s) that each of you was born and to see the both of you now only brings joy to my heart. You two have grown into nice young women that I am proud to tell anyone that you are my nieces. We have been through a lot in this life time some heartache and pain, but through God's grace and mercy we are still enjoying life and that in itself is a blessing.

Destined2bd1 you are the first one to receive a college degree in our family, and BDM will receive her degree in 2006. I wanted to take the time to tell you both how much I appreciate everything you all do for your little cousin KB, I know at times it is difficult dealing with her (because I do it everyday). She looks up to you two and she now wants to attend Hampton University, there was a time when all she talked about was being a singer, I figured she was only seven at the time and she would change her mind, and she did thanks to you two. I appreciate you two taking her to the movies, malls, amusement parks and helping her with her school work stressing to her how important it is to get a good education. I know I tell her how important education is but I'm just a Mom, KB thinks what do I know. Thanks for telling her of your experiences of getting a good old fashion whipping, something that she has not had the pleasure of receiving, because of the stories she has heard from you all (smile).

I love you two and I hope that you both continue to enjoy life and much success in whatever goals you have set for yourselves. Just trust in God and stay on the path that he has chosen for you. Please know that I am proud of both of you and I love you very much. (DK Washington, DC Chapter)
