Amazing Young Lady


If there were a word that would describe my daughter it would be Amazing. The last year has been filled with nothing but setbacks, heartbreak, suicide, eviction, crazy baby daddies and some substandard doctors. She is a very strong young lady and even though she’s going thru these things in her life she finds time to worry about other people and their children. It all started with a simple headache which led to heart surgery and so on and so on, you can read about it in my previous blogs. We’ve tried in every way to tell her story to the media, but I guess it just wasn’t interesting enough. But balloon boy, a young girl who can’t stop sneezing, and all the other unworthy stories our media thrust down our throats are. Don’t get me wrong, I know that other people have their heartaches and frustrations but this is mine, fight for yours. In spite of all the crap that’s been tossed at her she keeps right on going. Even though the children live in separate households for the moment, she continues to be that “old school” mother that so many of our children lack these days. Her days are often filled driving completely around the city trying to get them to basketball & volleyball tutoring, and all the other activities they’re involved in. But those of us who are believers know that God gives you double for your trouble. All things that seem bad work out for our good.
What’s really ironic, the man who issued the eviction of her family and is being honored for the “Great” things he has done for the community. Of course our local newspaper printed that story, but not her’s, go figure
There is a fund set up for her and her family @ www.maylayent.com if you would like to help just go to the blog spot page. Thank you.
