Celebrating Lillian's 19th Birthday at Universal Studios Orlando!
Life comes at you in moments, you are born, you graduate from a school, and you have a child and later age into adult hood. I started with the thought of wanting a child in 2003 at the age of 18 when I looked around and saw all the death that occurred in my life and wanted to give my life meaning again after so much was removed.
In September of 2003, I met Tiffany at the West Oaks Mall a beautiful girl who gave me the world and made my world possible again after everything that happened prior. Later on, I knew that she was the one that I wanted to mother a child for me and it was decided that we would have two children and we struggled through a lot of family issues of hate for the opposite and disapproval, but in the end we overcame all of that and Lillian was born in 2005 and in beginning it was not easy with the first issue out of the gate being jaundice and then immediately a seizure with Tiffany (nothing like your mother in law telling you it’s because of your sperm, which dissipated months ago since we did nothing during that time lol).
Lillian, a unique and amazing child that held her head high and came with an amazing smile that could make anyone happy seeing. This was the beginning of being a father when the world would close in and I felt that good pressure to make her the center of my world while keeping her mother alive.
As time went on, she grew to be an amazing girl and now at the age of 19 years old reminds me every day that life does not wait, and every day that we do not use it to make something special and fun is a waste of our life.
