My amazing God Mother is the sweetest person God ever put on this earth. She and my Mother met in Church when my Mother was pregnant with me. She is the perfect example of what a God Mother should be only she didn't wait for something to happen to my Mother, she became involved in my life from the day I was born. She was very instrumental in my upbringing and I consider myself the luckiest woman in the world to have had such an extraordinary person in my life. My love for my precious Ardea will always run deep in my heart and hopefully take over to diminish the excruciating pain I now feel from losing her.
