Cinderella.... The Transformation of a Tomboy into My Princess...
Sa-Rai was involved in a school Play called Cinderella, she loves acting and wants to become and actor.. So this is her journey into a bright new world, that for my shy child has became a revelation of hidden talent and strength. For you see ,Sa-Rai has been my tomboy since life was breathed into her soul. Even though as her mother I loved having the long cascading curls down her back, she would run into my arms going " Pull it up Momma, pull it into a ponytail, an get it out of my way.. " That was even at a year old, she was the one running around with bib overalls on, bare feet, chasing cars around the house an watching "Bob the Builder" ...
Sa-Rai has never fit into a mold, or conformed to anything other than she thought she ought to be , being the youngest of my children, she has always been the "baby" .. Doing exactly anything that she deemed interesting .. She loves to draw, read comic books, play video games and hang out with her best friends. Not shopping at the malls,or chasing after boys.. She is my girl that I can find exploring out in the woods, or in front of the computer chatting with her best friends..
She was bitten by the acting bug a while ago, but not knowing exactly where to go or what to do.. It has taken her a while to proceed .. When her middle school had try-outs for their play "Cinderella" she wanted to try out.. With try-outs, a dentition came, and thus she was added to the cast Ensemble...They (the Cast) practice every day after school until 5- 5:30 pm thus making a long day.. As the play grew closer they practiced until 8.. I can tell you know that the play was scheduled the last full week school was ending..
There was many first in this play for Sa-Rai, first time she would be singing in front of a live audience, first time she would be wearing makeup, and curling her hair,the first time she would be sharing her talented self with the world .. Aw my baby has surely grown up, and is no longer that little Tomboy I see in my mind.. The confidence of being able to put on a full length formal gown and be comfortable in it, came from
Mollie Mayfield Pettingill... who taught Sa-Rai that she can still have fun, be herself even if she is in a dress..
I am so blessed to have the beautiful young women I have , even though in my heart and soul they are still my beautiful babies.. I am blessed to have the friends that I have , for I would be lost without them.. I have often said it "takes a village to raise a child' and i firmly believe that . for each person that comes into our lives leaves an imprint on our soul, and heart.. so with this I leave a final closing.. I am so proud to be a mother to my Three beautiful angels, I am proud of Sa-Rai for all she has accomplished in her 13 years that she has been on this earth and all she is going to accomplish( the child who was never suppose to live) and proud to have the friends and family I have without you I would not be half the woman, mother that I am.. Thanks for being there for me and my family..
