Riley Clay=)

Riley Clay Jewell was the first of 2 amazing gifts God gave me. He was born in March of 1997 and while it scared the bejesus out of me to be a single mother, never did a thought cross my mind that would have taken him out of my life. He was my saving force, the  moment I held him I knew I had purpose. He made me want to be better, made me strive for it. Over the years he has grown in to a supper handome young man full of  life, humor, charisma, and charm. He is so popular it amazes me. He is an excellent athlete and makes me smile and beam with pride each time he takes the field or court. He will go so far in life if he can stay focused and off the girls..lol.

Some of you know, but for those who are in the dark on the situation... Last month Riley went to live with his father, stepmother, and 2 sisters. This has been devestating to me, but it is for his future so I have to keep reminding myself of that. He will be sucessful and if this is what it takes, then I will suck it up and take the back seat for now. At the end of the school year Dakota and I will move out to where he is so the boys can go to the same hs and I can see him daily. I think thats what hurts the worst, not seeing him everyday and knowing what he is doing. He will always be my baby and I will always be proud of him.
