Birth of the Next Dragons: CNG

It's been a year since the events of May 2011 transpired and I can definitely say that I am NOT the same man that I was back then. I've grown, I've matured, I've calmed down drastically, (OK, not drastically, I do have my moments lol), but the most important thing is that that I have gotten back closer to God and our relationship has been rejuvenated and we are closer than we've ever been. He has showed me TONS about myself that I probably wouldn't have know if He didn't take me through, so at this point right now, I'm so thankful to my Master for taking me through this, even though I couldn't see why in the beginning. I only pray that you continue to keep walking with me, Father, and that you keep giving me the wisdom that I need to keep pushing and doing what I need to do in you.

A while back I wrote a entry on my beautiful baby girl, my princess, Lilliana Simone. After that, I followed that up with an entry on my firstborn prince and the 1 who will succeed me after I'm gone, Christian Alexander. My Lilli will be an elegant, beautiful girl, walking and talking like a princess while learning what it takes to be a true queen and carrying herself as such when she grows up. My Christian will be a honorable prince. A man of integrity and morals. Always standing up for what's right and always watching over his siblings with love and care just like his parents watch over him. The both of my children will be great, but this entry is about their little sister and who she is.

Whenever the day is. Whatever month it's in. Whatever year it's in, the world will stop and take notice when Cataleya Nicole is born. The world will stand up to see 1 of the greatest female warriors to ever grace God's green earth. Like her big sister, Lilliana, she will be a graceful woman. She will have the morals, honor, and qualities of a Godly woman instilled in her by both Yahweh and her mother. She will love to be around her big brother and her big sister. She will want to do everything with them and love them both to death. There will be times where she will feel left out and like nobody notices her, but Christian and Lilliana will make sure that Cat will NEVER feel left out and like she's a part of our family. It something that she never has to worry about because of the fact that her mother and I will ensure that all of our children will be treated the same and given the same amount of love and care as the other. Cataleya is named after the beautiful orchid that grows down in South America. She also gets her name from Cataleya Restrepo, played by actress Zoe Saldana in the movie, "Columbiana." In the movie, Cateleya was a beautiful hit woman that was bent on revenge for the murders of her parents, but more importantly, she was a woman who moved gracefully, covered all of her basics, knowledgeable of guns and explosives, and also fighting techniques. With the exception of the revenge aspect, my Cataleya will also be a warrior princess. She will be trained in the martial arts that I learned and have the disciplines and the doctrines of each fighting style deeply ingrained into her. Like her mother and her older sister, she will have the grace, honor, wisdom, and qualities of a virtuous woman. Like her older brother and sister, she will walk and talk like a princess, eventually growing up to become a queen in her own right. Unlike them however, she will definitely be the 1 who wants to play with Daddy's swords and all of his training weapons. She will be the 1 who is always watching football with Daddy and learning about his favorite sport, which in turn will also become her favorite also. She will be the 1 to wanna try dangerous things and as a parent, I will have to make sure I keep that in check. HIGHLY in check.

To you, my little flower, my little Cataleya, I wanna tell you how much I love you. Yes, you aren't even born, or hell for that matter, even conceived, but Daddy still loves you so much, my little flower. Just as I promised your brother and sister, I will also promise you this. I will NEVER walk out on you. I will always be there for you, Cat. I love you too much and you mean too much to me to ever see me leave your side like that. I promise to be the best father that I can possibly be to you, baby. I've had my own issues coming up with my parents and I'm not saying that we wont ever disagree with each other, but, I love you too much to make the same mistakes that my father did with me. I will always be there whenever you need me or call on me. I will be the father that loves you with all my might and with every last breath in my body. You are our special flower, Cataleya, and your mom and I will do all that we can to cultivate, nurture, and watch you grow into the beautiful woman that we both know you're destined to become. I love you, Cataleya, and I will see you when you enter the world and take your first breath. Daddy loves you so much baby!!
