I felt like sharing this... once I was dropping off Empress to daycare. I was living in Liberty City at that time and her daycare was in Miami Gardens. I was on my way to work in Hollywood. I got out to take her out of the car seat and I noticed my leg was going to be crushed by the SUV I was driving. I HAD LEFT THE SUV IN DRIVE. God had it where another lady was driving an older Suburban with the metal bumper that was able to stop my SUV (Jeep Commander) by catching the wheel. Empresss daycare was in a home-like setting and my truck would have ran into the VPK class room. No one was hurt. I was frantic. The owner of the Suburban was coming out and where I was stuck in between the two SUVs I screamed for her to take out my baby. Empress, oblivious to what had happened, was sitting in the truck watching whatever DVD for the hundredth time had on the DVD headphones and was surprised when this stranger picked her up. I was excused from signing her in because I could not stop shaking (everyone that has brought their children to a daycare knows they do not play about signing in and out) The Suburban lady (which was older than my mom) said it is okay. I left my children at school one day and went home. It was not until it was dark I realized it. Everyone makes mistakes. I am just glad you are not hurt. She prayed for me and I went on to work (there is no days off when you are a single parent). That prayer was a seed planted. At the time I didnt know or realize it. If I was told by that lady on that day I would be married to a man that would love Empress as his own. To the point where people that do not know us prior say, She act just like Jeffrey. (I used to correct people... now I just smile and say, Thats her dad.) If I was told that I would not be overdrafting every paycheck to meet my bills and actually have a career.. If I was told I would not just be living in an apartment but settling in my home... I would not have believed. Trust in God people. He sees your struggles. It is apart of the process. Be Blessed!
