A proud mommy moment.........


Today, I attended the Straight "A" breakfast in honor of my 9 yr old daughter Peri (left with Principal McNeely) and 10 other 4th and 5th grade students. Getting straight "A's" nowadays is a big deal and I was so proud of my daughter, the eldest of our three daughters. I couldn't have asked for a better example for Sanai (5) and Piper (1....2 soon).

I entered Keidan elementary school in Detroit each morning passing the plaque that proudly displayed my mother's name as the only student to receive straight "A's" during her years there. Whoa!!! This was something that I never accomplished during my years at Keidan, so in a strange way it felt good to see my daughter receive such an honor.
It was a proud mommy moment, I pray for many more days like this.
