My daughter

 Yesterday was my beautiful daughter's birthday; she turned 15 years old. She is now 15 years old! What a journey from finding out I was pregnant with her to grow into a beautiful young lady; yesterday, I was reminiscing on her baby pictures and how perfect she is. I was overwhelmed with her sweetness of her and the remarkable way she was created for me. 

When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, I was in a place that began a journey to major singleness. My husband a the time found his soulmate amid our marriage and left, and that was okay. It wasn't too long that I found myself dating other men and working at the coal mines of Wyoming. There were plenty of men available to date me; I was not too alone. It was an exciting time in Wright, WY; in all the hustle and bustle, I met a man who was different from my ex-husband. He was not a Texan but an Oregan, South Dakotan guy. However, I did not know much about him; I only thought he was very friendly and good-looking. He was a welder at the coal mine we worked at; I was working as a wash bay attendant cleaning equipment and having fun driving and operating the colossal equipment on site. It was a 12-shift hour job with a combination shift schedule. Lots of living at the coal mine met a lot of good, hardworking men and learned a lot from them. We had our share of fun drinking and hanging out at Hank's Bar located in Wright. That was my place to pick up my alcohol and use it to sleep with after my graveyard shifts. Anyway, we had fun, when I met this guy I noticed him the first time he started working there. We chatted at first, and then we ended up hanging out, I knew he had a girlfriend, but I was in the clouds by how he treated me. 

We ended up having a time alone, and there was when he got me pregnant; while we were together, he mentioned that he could not have kids due to his severe cancer treatments. He told me of his horrible journey as a cancer patient. He is definitely a fighter. I was glad that he was alive, and I had the opportunity to have him in my life for a brief moment. When I found out about my pregnancy, I was confused and shocked that I was pregnant and scared shitless. Here I am, a 34-year woman, an already a single mother who was still broken from a broken heart from the husband who left my son and me, and now I am pregnant. I can still remember looking at the pregnancy test. I stood still; I was thinking of the negative that would occur, but also thinking about what I was going to tell the father of my child? Instead, I looked up to Jesus and thanked Him for my beautiful gift. Then after that, everything negative completely faded into thin air. I was excited, and I didn't care how hard it would be with my soon-to-be two kids. I was happy. Our journey began, just my son and my daughter and me. Now my kids are nearly all grown up, and I will soon see them become so much more in their lives. I'll tell more about my pregnancy at the coal mine and the father later. 

My daughter was a huge stepping stone and a huge blessing to all of us in the Yellow family and extended as well. Our lives were complete with my little girl. However, I wished I had gotten pregnant with my daughter's dad again. Just one more to have her grow up with another sibling... HA!
