I am overjoyed to know you all and I know everything will fall into place. You know it too.

Lilla now, has stolen a piece of my heart, her spirit is sweet &amp; gentle yet full of fire. Holding her made my heart sing.

I look forward to seeing you all again.

More love Danna.
God is GREAT, never forget that.
He will provide all that you need, this is true. </div></div>

Re: A September to Remember

<span style="font-size: 11pt">So we stayed down by sisters until late that night, and then we got a cab up to home.
Sleep was not so hard for me to come by this evening, and soon the rooster was crowing again...



on my agenda today... a trip to Sav for mosquito net!!

That afternoon while Daddy and Lilla were enjoying a nap, Sister, Imanni and I went to town...



Mosquito net, rum, rum cream, chicken, browining, rice, peas, veggies, and Ting...
I think I got everything and we head back up a country...

Lilla and her Daddy had some quality time alone, these pictures were on the camera when I got back





Lawd the heat this day was almost unbearable, and I could do little but sit under the fan on my return... we decided we would cook the chicken tomorrow, and just relax... we helped Imanni with his school work, listened to music, and enjoyed each others company. He hung mosquito nets, and I felt like a princess as he tucked me in that night I wish I'd have grabbed the camera the next morning before Astley jumped up to fix it, it would have been straight proof Imanni sleep bad the whole net down on top of him and he twisted up in it like a pretzel not so sure the net served it's purpose that night

I went to Grange Hill and got some cash and some time on the modem, and came back with some suckers for the kids.

Re: A September to Remember

Hello Bandana I have been a member here for years even though I don't post much(username and password are always screwed up). I am so very happy for you. I have enjoyed watching Imanni grow through the years. I look forward to seeing Lila as she grows. She is like a little doll. You should be a writer. I love the details of your trip reports. I have been to Jamaica and back several times with you and Imanni, but this trip feels so warm. I look forward to the next chapter of this beautiful story.

Re: A September to Remember

Danna...what a way you give my son worry!

He just walked into the kitchen and finds me staring at the computer CRYING like crazy and he thought for sure something was wrong. I still dont think I have convinced him that No...everything is right.

Your story and your pictures are so touching...A swear sometimes I actually FEEL your feelings...right deep into my heart. I remember some of them so well.

So glad I choose now to come check in on Ja.com....just in time to read your report.
