Dreams do come TRUE if GOD's hand is guiding you. So do the right thing, LOVE HOPE & PRAY for what HE may bring.

All her childhood years, she  had dreamed about her  prince charming like Cinderella did. I think at one point in time we all did when we were young kids. He was going to be handsome, kind and caring. e would look good in anything that he was wearing.He would have to be taller than me to keep me on my toes. And every now and then he has to drop a quick kiss on the tip of her nose. He would have to love music, know how to dance, and have soul. He would have to treasure her through their  life's highways as they'd  go.

Then one night a fat swan got the chance. When Big K  went and asked that good looking dream to dance.  She knew that night as she moved on the dance floor that she wouldn't be "LOOKING FOR LOVE" any more. She knew as perfectly as she  fit in his arms. That he was strong enough to keep away the harm.

A family is a unit that is special to thee. They should never be treated wrong or taken lightly. You should keep them close to you, for a families love is pure and true. A family will always be there for you and are never afraid to show they care.
You might not see eye to eye, but for any member of it we would surely die. If any member is needed at all, all you have to do is give them a call. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER loved us all the same so he decided to give us a family name.
He looked down and blessed this land with only two touches of his loving hand. King Heavy D  was born on June 16, 1925 and he was his families middle born of three sons.
Queen Grey Hair  was born on August 31, 1925 and was the eldest of the four HICKS girls. They were born in Loiusianna but somehow ended up in Texas. They were called pet names as we all were  YOU COON ASSES!!!
Back on the 14th day of May in the year 1945,  Ms. Hicks became Mr. D's wife.
The King and Queen  made their home in Groves off of 32nd street.  They were some of the kindest, nicest, caring people that you could ever meet.
Never knowing back then that their family would grow to total ten. Queen  Grey Hair found out she was pregnant not long after they were married.  She lost the baby she was carrying (CAROL 6-1946). Granny (12-1949), ANA (11-1952), Big Boy, then Crazy Red was born. Next came Fatso (8-9-1957), then Nine  and finally Clyde , the baby son. But the LORD said they weren't done for nine months later came another girl , Nunna. Their names all started with J's, all except the Queen's, was that way.
With six girls and two boys, there were many, many tears of both sadness and joy. Those eight married and moved away from home. All but one have children and they are almost all grown.
Porky was born on May 9, 1972 and is the eldest of us all and Granny's first daughter. TurkeyJo is Granny's middle child and Big Boy's eldest, Bubba, was born both in October of 1973.
Kathy Kay (Big K)  was born to Jennifer in on April 6, 1974.

(It all began in the GARDEN of LIFE when GOD spoke to ADAM's wife. Her name was EVE and he thought that she embodied LOVE & BEAUTY."Dear Eve, my dear child, even though you betrayed me like you did for blinded were your eyes. You did not see what was to come of the deceitful way that sin is disguised. One thing that I will do one day you'll see. Is to give to you a bundle of INNOCENT and TRUE LOVE looking like you but being of me. With the beauty and all that it implies, I will be the wind beneath her  wings that always helps her  fly.A STAR will guide her and DIAMOND will be her sign. For the LOVE & LIGHT of the WORLD will in her SMILE shine. She will not be Adam's daughter but yours and mine to Cherish and nurture and to tend to LIFE's thorns that may hurt her. She will have your face but will bring my GRACE to this world. She will be born to brothers and be called a GIRL!!!!!""You will only feel the fleeting flutter of little wings in your tomb. While OUR  love is growing and blossoming in it's warm cocoon. You will not know of this MIRACLE of THIS BIRTH until I am ready for her to come to this earth. On that you are going to feel pains so unbearable that you'll think you are going to die. Do not fret, my child, for inside you lives OUR LEGACY to be born and forever fly.Eve wanted something of her own that was not rough and tough. She wanted so badly  to feel loved by HER FATHER    "I, THANK  YOU, my father for loving me and creating her as a BUTTERFLY/RedBud Blossom so she leaves LOVE & BEAUTY to those she's touched.""I also THANK YOU , my dear Father, for making and not for-saking me, very much  .......FOR ONLY YOU KNOW AND SEE ALL THINGS. I want to honor YOUR  grace and beauty.  So I also will be the wind beneath her wings." )

  Only 6 months and four days seperated her from Ducal (Granny's baby ). Our family received a big present in 1974  ON  CHRISTMAS DAY for Midget was sent our way. 
A few years passed and no new branches came. On the 7th of June 1977, alittle boy was born toANA  and Smiley he was named. His favorite friend was Big Boy's  middle daughter born in February of 1978 and named Ditch Baby.
ALL of the LOIUSIANNA COUSINS were young when their mom moved them away. But during the summers, Bubba, MIdget, and Ditch baby  would come home to stay.
Mud Puppy, Jr is Clyde's  firstborn  son and  was born on March 8th and Mud Duck was born to Crazy Red on May 12, the year 1981. That made the total 6 grand-daughters and 4 grandsons.
Paw-Paw D  retired from Texaco around the year 1983 and decided to move away. He moved Gray Hair  to a place named Buna and decided they would stay. They owned a trsh business and also made ceramics that they would bring to fairs in Loisianna and Texas.
That was FUN!!! When you were younger,  do you remember all that fuss?? Due to cancer, Paw-Paw D  left us on AUGUST 1, 1987 to make his final home in HEAVEN.
Three more grand-daughters were born in the next year.  Mae to Big Boy  in August, 1987, Tazz  to nunna  in January of 1988 and don't forget Nine had Smellin' Ellen. That was God's way of helping us heal.
D HILL became the place to stay on weekends and any other time you needed a place to stay. WE were always here to answer the phone any night or day.
Sundays were days of rest and to us GRANKIDS they were always the BEST.  The next ten years produced Turdhead Frances to Nunna  in February of 1992, and another granson Trav  to Clyde in March of 1993.
Our family was starting to branch out by leaps and bounds and Nanny's LOVE grew just as big as her house did. This was just something that had to be done.
The first GREAT GRAND branch to be added to the tree was by Porky when DJ was also born in 1993.
.

 On Thanksgving day of 1994, the first part of the day you were with my FAMILY. These were the people who said and acted like they loved and cared for me.Later I met your cousins, aunts, uncles, your 2 sisters and your 2 brothers.I'd previously me your mom but now I's met your grandmother.  Metting Ms Bernice Charming back on that Thanksgiving  day for the first time in 1994, was the very first day that GOD was KNOCKING ON MY ABUSED HEARTS DOOR.Bernice Josey Charming  is a remarkable woman  that was sent from above. She has been a MOTHER OF SORTS for many years and is filled with UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.She was born the year of 1938 on the 30th day of November to her father, William Peau (RIP), and Amy Mae Lee Guthrie Josey (RIP), her Mother. She was a SISTER to Willie Lee(daughter-RIP), Thomas (son), Ethel, Bertha, Betty, Lucille, Erma Ray (daughters), Bernice (my husbands mom-daughter), Jim (son), Sybil and Sydney (twin-daughters), William Peau, Jr. and Marvin (sons) a total of 8 sisters and 5 brothers. She had to work hard when she was a child. For you had to do this to keep your family alive. At times they had to work in the house, garder, or fields of cotton. When they were done for the day there wasn't anything that was gorgotten. While the younger ones had their own chores to do before light was gone. For when the sun went down they were all safe and sound at home.)

 Pruitt's brothers old tan truck was my horse-drawn carriage. In the front seat of it at my parents house is where he asked for my hand in marriage. As with Cinderella, I felt he was my true love. That he was my private dancer sent to me from above. I told Him " Yes"  and didn't hesitate. Before he had left my parents we had talked about setting a date.

My mother was caring as all mother's should be. She told me to make sure this is what I wanted for me. I called him up to tell him the news the best I could. Making sure what was best for me becasue I should. A week later was my mother's birthday when he got the news. He could still marry me if that's what he would still choose. He told me he loved me and couldn't wait. He wanted to belong to me so we talked about a date.

 Even though I felt that at 5'4" and 220 ponds I was fat, Your mirror to your soul never once mirrored that back. There was only on theing I could see when I looked into your eyes. You loved me more than you could ever say and it couldn't be disguised.

As the days passed after we agreed that neither of us could wait, we spoke and thought carefully about setting a date. That was when the Queen helped pave the way when she GAVE ME the 14th day of May. This was almost like a dream come true. For that would also be my anniversary too. June 16th was the King's birthday and I always wanted to get married on that day. I never knew the date of the King & Queen's wedding anniversary. Come to find out we would soon later learn alot of new things about me

So on May 14, 1995, dressed in white and looking to kill, Big K   and Pruitt Charming became one a top D hill. Not to mention how extrememly honored and excited that made me as Pruitt made me his wife. Fifty years ago on that same day in 1945, the King had also invited the Queen into his life. Even though the King was not there to share this day with me  His angel was around and you could feel all the memories.

"TEARS from HEAVEN, song"

The year 1996 brought GREAT GRAND branches galore with some sadness but MORE JOY. Big K  gave birth to Little Prookie on the 24th and Turkey  gave birth to Justin on January 26th. But sadly GOD trimmed our family tree when he took HOME Jeanine's baby boy.
The year was 1997 and the month was May two more GREAT-GRAND daughters were added within 18 days of each other. Jennice  was born on the 3rd to Big K  and on the 21st, Caitlyn  made Ducal a first time mother.
All if this was made possible by GOD in Heaven)Now we fast forward to October 19, 1997. Just five months after the birth of the new princess the Queen of the hill sould give me one last kiss. Upon my finger was just a plain gold band. For 50 years the Queen had wore it on her left hadn. She did not have diamonds only that band of gold. Never once did the Queen take it off or ever let it go.  There was one exception on that 14th day of May in 1995, when for one more time in her heart her husband was still alive.. Through the pairing of their princess to their new grandson, for one more time together they would be one. As Cinderella replaced on the Queen's finger her wedding ring the Queen was already in Heaven dancing with her husband, the King.
During that summer Grey Hair got sick and was often very week. But never passed up a HUG around her neck or a KISS on her cheek. Nanny D left us on October 19, 1997 to go be with Paw-Paw D  up in Heaven.
In the year 1999, we added more great grand branches as Porky  had Carson  in February, John was Bubba's first born that came along on June 8th and Trevor  came along on July 16th to Ducal. The first King and Queen would love our family tree.
The month of November of 1999 brought the last child and also D grandson for Nine  gave birth to  Allen and the original D FAMILY was finally done.
The family is getting so big without the Queen or King here for in the year 2000, two were born in the same year. In February, Alexis  was born to Mud Puppy,Jr  and Bubba's second son Hunter was born in June.
From 2001 to 2003 no new branches were added to our growing tree.  In November of 2003 by GOD's amazing GRACE another GREAT GRANDCHILD was added when Mud Puppy, Jr gave us Jayce.  Three months later another branch was added as had happened before. Turkey  gave birth to Ashlyn in February of 2004.
The year was 2005 and the month was September when RITA did damage we all remember. ANNY's house became a memory on that day when the HURRICANE came and took it away.
But that 2005  also brought joy when in December  Mud Puppy, Jr welcomed Jordan , his baby boy.
Brooklyn is the first born toMud Duck in March of the year 2007.  That year GOD trimmed our tree again when Crazy Red went to be with the King and Queen   in HEAVEN.
In the year 2009 and Mud Duck  branched out the FAMILY TREE one more time.Ella was added to make his family total five.
YOUR HOME is WHERE YOUR HEART is so that is what I am told.
HUGS and KISSES from me to you go out no matter where you go

well, I woke up this morning to a glorious new day.....hummingbirds and butterflies are outside flying above.....I AM FEELING GOD's AMAZING LOVE!!!!

Thank you, KING of KINGS, the  ALPHA and OMEGA, my HEAVENLY FATHER above.ONLY YOU can shower us with this abundance of LOVE. I feel my soul with YOUR SONG each day so my mind is at ease and calm when I PRAY!!!People think I am not a REAL ANGEL and that I am crazy....Yet, this is untrue and a terrible malady. I am being persecuted and need you still today. For YOU said that through MY BROTHER, JESUS, is the only way. you knew that you sent him to pay for their sins. Yet, you forgot in the beginning to mention the wind........

Now here we are in 2012 and PEOPLE are so cold. THANK  YOU for never leaving me without your sheltered arms that hold. I asked a QUESTION of you one day never expecting the answer that came. YOU always knew the shape and look of my FACE for YOU was the one for whom I was named. YOU knew how the world would become so very unsafe. YOU knew new I would become the ADVOCATE for ALL ABUSES starting from my birthday.

This is my story to be chiseled in stone. May it bring you closer to GOD and forever be passed on. For no-one's walked in these shoes but HIM and me. Now it's time to SPREAD MY WINGS OF BEAUTY & LOVE and leave MY LEGACY.


 

 Under GOD's love all colors and tongues are OUR SISTERS and BROTHERS. By me writing this GOD wants to teach you to be more considerate of others. The treasures of man may do you well here on earth. But when you have to face OUR HEAVENLY FATHER they have no worth.YOU are also PRINCES and PRINCESSESS in HEAVEN above. But only by BELEIVING in JESUS and spreading his love. Into your heart you have to let Jesus in and acknowledge to OUR FATHER that you have sinned. For only with GOD did HER  DREAMS COME TRUE. If someone truely has FAITH then it can happen for them tooo......

Kathy Kay      just have to say I am not UNCLE SAM's child....yet, I do know some veteran's......I know plenty of BLACK's WHITES( the whites are made up of seeds left from the FIRST SETTLERS),Mexican's, Native INDIANS, South African's Turkish, Austrailians, Cuban's Haitian, German's, Russians, (all nationalities who MADE UP THE USA) that FOUGHT FOR EVERYONE's FREEDOMS.WE are a NATION OF GOD's CHILDREN (no matter what COLOR, CREED, RELIGION, NATIONALITY, etc. that you are. I am so many different things but my maiden name is German) I AM A CHILD OF GOD so FOR EVERY MISGUIDED GOD's CHILD I DO ALWAYS NIGHT & DAY, PRAY, in JESUS NAME.........just saying GOD.....DO YOU still love me?
" This is a Cinderella type legacy that could only be told of by me. I am an outdider looking in You could just call me a next of kin. I am not a beauty but I have brains like you. Honor your dreams like she did but also learn the truth. Because this Cinderella had been molested in her youth. They say that only time can tell and that writing it down can make you well. I've had a way with words since I was a little girl. This is RedNeck Cinderella's gift that I want to leave for the world. "
