I entered a beauty contest. Why not? Had nothing to loose except rejection. I’m use to rejection. My father left 15 years ago. Leaving Mom to raise three kids alone.

There were 25 women left for the crown, I was one of them. Eventually, they were all eliminated. One by one.For one reason or another.Two contestants left. Myself and another.

My teeth were chattering from nerves. My feet were killing me from these high heels.

Now the music starts, because the winner was going to be announced!

They called the runner-up! It wasn’t me!

I was the last name to be called. So that meant

I won! I was the last name called!

The prize was a 2 week vacation for two in the Bahamas. Everything included, food, drinks, even shows.

it felt great being called LAST!

I was absolutely ecstatic, and I knew who I wanted to bring. My best friend, my Mother!!

She always had my back, now it’s time, to pay her back. For all the love with sacrifices, she has given to her kids.

Thanks Mom XX
