What do i do?

Today is my baby-dads 22nd B-day, and i guess I'm taking it well, I mean good. I guess as my baby gets older it gets harder for me to cop with, she asks all the time about him...What do i do? How do i let her know that it wasnt daddys decision to go nor yours,or mommys God just seen fit to take daddy away? I need some advice because i am so lost in this area...Tryin to find myself as well as my mother instinct

Am I my Brother/Sister'z Keeper?

Sometimes I believe we as the people ( because were all to blame) tend to Judge other according to their past..We tend to abuse children when they some much as steal(not saying stealing isnt a crime.),but as young children we need to mold change into their minding...meaning communicate, yes he/she might be of age where they know right from wrong(so you may think) but if there surroundings are wrong (meaning these streets we live in)than they only know what they see. Not saying you from the ghetto you must be ghetto(my point in def).I believe people should be accepted of all shapes,colors,black, white, gay, or straight...happiness+motivate+love=Peace*.We live in a world where thank god, Obama here..because change is in need.Thats a prime example for any thing is possible...if we love one another,help one another,build one another.....WOW...do you know how powerful the U.S. will be?If everybody was middle class/upper class...no bullying...not so much hatred, struggle..Opportunity to move forward...I am my brother/sister'z keeper!

Gangs,violence, and the streets we all live in...

I decided to talk about gangs,violence, and the streets. My friend was gunned down December 19,2009, along with a male friend, just a block up from her house.Brutally shot, she survived 5 hrs....fighting for her life..a second breathe of air. I held her, heart full of pain and anger. Now a month later still we wait as family and friends looking for closure...Wow just January 24th,2010, made 3yrs. my daughter's father been gone(Antonia Sotmayor...shot 12 times January 24th,2007,by york city police)...As if that wasnt enough..when is enough..enough?Lives taking away in seconds, mothers left with questions and no answers, rumors flooding the area nobody knows right from wrong...it seems all unreal.That quick?...Days after everyone forgets all about what happened...ON TO THE NEXT--->Until something else happens anther young,intelligent,precise life taking away, another mother childless, and child motherless, father gone? When is enough...ENOUGH? What when we all just kill ourselves (cops to?), we must protect and serve ourselves...Be a community live for the future and what our child have to offer ths world we live in and what their chid's child will be...who will they look up to?(If not you?)
