The father of my kids and I were together for 5 years. He was very funny and we always had a great time together. He was basically "the life of the party". I never knew what I thought would last forever would end so soon. I thought we would grow old together. We started our family very young. We welcomed our first born, Josiah, who is currently three years old. He brought so much joy to our lives. We had our ups and downs, but it was nothing that we couldn't get through. Our bond was very strong, and we would never allow ourselves to go to bed angry. I never loved anyone as much as I loved him and our son.

On June 11, 2017, the day he passed, a part of my heart left with him. He was shot and killed in a freak accident.

The day he died he told us twice that he loved us, and it's one of the things that has kept me sane.

My whole world changed when he left us, and all I could think about was that my kids has to grow up without a father.

He was a loving and sweet person, who had a passion for music. He would always talk about pursuing a career as a producer/rapper. I always encouraged him to follow his heart.

I am now pregnant with our daughter who will be here September 11th. It will be exactly three months after he has passed. When we found out it was a girl, he was ecstatic.

I know when our daughter is born, it will be one of the hardest days of my life, because he will not be able to stand on the side of me, as I give birth. It will also be rough in the hospital because I will remember, how he never left my side when our son was born. I know that spiritually he will still be there.

As our kids grow older, I will tell them everything I know about their father. I will explain to my daughter that the good Lord needed him more than us, just as I explained to my son.

He pushed me through this pregnancy , especially when I was having difficult times. I know he is looking down on us smiling.

It is not easy to lose someone that has always been by your side. It is also not going to be easy being a single parent. I advise everyone to love and appreciate your love ones while they're still here on Earth. Make sure you live, laugh, and love because you will miss what you had when it is gone.

Featuring Interview with Cake Designer Nicole of OKC Cake Lady

Photos Provided By Nicole Me: Hi Nicole! How did you start your passion for designing cakes and where are you located? Hi! I am located in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm

Featuring Tea Town in Montgomery, AL

Written By: Felecia Causey Tea Town is a family-owned restaurant located in Montgomery, AL. It’s in a great location right off Vaughn Road, close to the AMC movie theater. The first thing that caught my attention was how clean it was. I enjoyed how peaceful it seemed. Oh, my goodness, my readers and followers know how important good customer service is to me. The entire family that was there was so welcoming. I was impressed when they asked if I had any food allergies. That was very courteous of them. I wanted to get a little more background of this family. Just by talking to Buu and Brandi I knew they were aiming to build relationships with their customers. Watching the interactions between them and each person that came through the door, told me that they would treat their customers like family. It will definitely set them apart from many other restaurants in my book. Phat Trieu and Cam Thai came from Vietnam along with their kids. They have been cooking for years and
