What an AMAZING couple Jessica and Rhodes are!!! Their love for one another is so true, honorable and pure. I have been tremendously blessed by their Love Story. It is such a privilege to witness this flourishing LOVE. Their relationship did not start in a school, or by a chance meeting. It started after Jessica lost her first love, her husband Tell, in the Iraq war. In a tragic accident, Tell and seven other men made the ultimate sacrifice to their country, and he, like many others, left behind a wife and a 5 month old baby girl. While devastated by this tragedy, Jessica was blessed in the fact that their love for one another had given them a smart and beautiful daughter named Ava. Their sweet baby, who only had fourteen short days with her father, will always carry with her the knowledge and pride that her Daddy was a true American hero. Little did Jessica know that on the most heartbreaking day of her life, in the very same accident that took her love away, God spared the life of one very special Lieutenant. Once this Lieutenant returned back to the states, he had a self imposed obligation. This obligation was to make sure that Jessica, a new mom and now a widow, would be given the support that she needed. Grass was cut, fences were built and stories of Tell were shared. He was such a generous man. Giving so much of himself to make sure that Jessica and her baby daughter, while faced with such tragedy, would be tended to and provided for. However, this Lieutenant did end up getting back a hundred fold of all he gave. He ended up with a beautiful Love and a beautiful new family. Yes, this Lieutenant is Rhodes. He and Jessica will be married soon in beautiful Charleston. I can not wait to be there with them on that glorious day. What an honor! This marriage without a doubt is an amazing gift from God. When I look at these images with Rhodes and little Ava, I cry with joy. I love the image with Jessica in the background smiling at the sight of her baby with her new Daddy. No, Rhodes can never be Ava’s biological father but there is not a doubt in anyone’s mind that Tell hand picked Rhodes for Ava and Jessica. Rhodes is the only Daddy Ava has really known. Ava does hear wonderful stories from Rhodes about her father Tell. Together, Jessica and Rhodes have taken her to Washington, DC to visit Arlington National Cemetery, specifically Section 60, where the fallen soldiers from Iraq are laid to rest. Here Ava visits her father and learns from Jessica and Rhodes of the loving, honorable, and heroic man he was. They take great care in keeping the memory of Tell alive. Jessica said it best when she said that some women don’t get one good man, she has been so blessed to have gotten two. Rhodes really lights up Jessica’s life, and gives her hope for a beautiful and bright future. It so shows in her eyes. The love between them is so deep. Let me tell you, these two really shine! And if they could tell you why, they would give God all the glory. Just beautiful through and through. Please pray for this couple and little Ava as they begin their next chapter together. May God continue to richly bless them.

LOVE you Rhodes, Jessica

and little Miss Ava.

Jessica and Rhodes are such a beautiful couple. Their story is soul churning and heart filling. I was so blessed being a witness to these two becoming one. This marriage was definitely a God thing. : ) His presence was surly felt that day. And surly right with Him was Tell looking down with great joy for these two sweet hearts and his daughter Ava. What a Glorious Day He provided. The sky was so blue, the wind was just right and the warmth just seemed to embrace everyone. Jessica and Rhodes love for one another is so pure and reflects the love that they share for the Lord. This marriage stands firm on the ‘Rock’. The future for this gorgeous little family is so bright and exciting. I can’t wait to hear all the stories that they will be so blessed to have. Little Miss Ava has such a sweet Mama and Daddy to raise her. Jessica, Rhodes and Ava, You will always have a part of my heart.

Let me tell you, I am so proud of my daughter Kyla. She had her first lead role in a play and she was AWESOME!!!! She should definitely get a Grammy or an Oscar for her performance. Really. Seriously!!! She was SO GOOD!!! I cried during the end of the play because I was just so, so PROUD!!! The play was Hysterical. Kyla was a self absorbed teen taking phone calls in the Library filled with NERDS! They all ganged up on my daughter and let her have it. Actually, they threw her out of the library. Kyla played the part so well, she was so theatrical. I just thank God that she is really not like her character. LOL CONGRATULATIONS Kyla for a Outstanding Performance!!! The whole cast was great, congratulations to you ALL!!!

Just want to tell my Mama that I love her dearly and think the world of her. She is the heart and soul of our family. Hugs and Kisses!!! Have a Blessed Day!!!!

Mama, you’re a wonderful mother,

So gentle, yet so strong.

The many ways you show you care

Always make me feel I belong.

You’re patient when I’m foolish;

You give guidance when I ask;

It seems you can do most anything;

You’re the master of every task.

You’re a dependable source of comfort;

You’re my cushion when I fall.

You help in times of trouble;

You support me whenever I call.

I love you more than you know;

You have my total respect.

If I had my choice of mothers,

You’d be the one I’d select!
