A day of celebration

Today, October 24^th, is a day of celebration.

A day I have celebrated all my life.

A day to celebrate two people.

Two people who have supported me.

Encouraged me.

Comforted me.

Always supporting me in what I want to do, whether it be sports, school, jobs, or coming to Africa, these two people have always been behind me.

This is my beautiful grandmother, Mimi.

She is one heck of a rockstar.

Growing up she called me “her princess” and that’s exactly what I felt like when she came.

She would always make me Mini Mouse pancakes when I would have sleepovers at her house.

All of my long dance recitals, she was there.

All of my musicals, she was there.

All my sporting events, she tried her best to be there and if she couldn’t make it she would call and see how it would go.

This lady is one of the strongest women I know, alongside with my other grandmother.

My Mimi has beautiful piano skills!

It’s really incredible!

I envy the way she can play a piano.

I know every piano student that she ever had is truly thankful for her.

She has a servant’s heart for all.

She is one incredible grandmother and if you have never met her, please meet her next time she is in town!

Mimi had an amazing son on this day as well.

I’m truly thankful for her son.

That son is my lovely Dad.

My dad is the hardest working person I know.

He works hard and it definitely pays off.

He is BRILLIANT and loves to learn.

Maybe that’s where I get my craving for books from?

My dad is one of my biggest supporters.

He loves to encourage me daily about just life.

If I’m having a hard time with something, dad always comes to the rescue to put things in a better perspective for me to see.

My dad also plays music.

And he is a rockstar at that as well.

When he plays any instrument my heart is always happy.

He plays and plays.

I think he is the reason why I LOVE music so much too..

Thanks dad!

I love the way my dad thinks.

I love the way my dad loves.

I love the way my dad sings.

I love the way my dad cooks.

I love the way my dad dances.

I love the way m dad cares for all of us kids and my mom.

I love my dad’s beautiful heart.

So this day is a great day.

I get to celebrate two amazing people in my life!

So, Mimi and Dad thanks for all you do for me.

Thank you for always supporting me.

Thank you for loving music so that I can too.

Thank you for loving me the way you both do.

Thank you for being my grandmother and dad.

I will see you both very soon!!!
