laydeez, get your kleenex ready. i have a little sweetheart named constance who is 5 years old. she was born 3 months premature. at birth she weighed 1lb 13 oz. she was in an incubator for 2 months at kaiser hospital and almost died, but God gave us a miracle. she has severe asthma although her breathing is getting better. she has learning disabilities and has a difficult time with expressing herself in response to questions. she also has some coordination problems. we've been reading to her and she loves books, and she loves the library and special ed preschool. she is starting special ed kindergarten in a few weeks.she can speak english and spanish fluently and loves to attend preschool in both languages. she has the sweetest smile, a tender love for everybody, she says all the time that she loves Jesus and she LOVES the TEMPTS! she has a terrific memory for words to songs, and knows all the tempts tunes, and she ain't too proud to beg for them all the time. constance loves to practice the tempts moves from the video and dances them pretty well. i just love her so much. she's the joy of our family. she was an unexpected gift and i'm so grateful for ''my girl''

Awwwww! That is SO sweet! Because I was JUST thinking, like ten minutes ago, that, didn't Smokey write My Girl for his daughter? Or is that some other group and some other song I'm thinking of?

God Bless your whole family, especially Constance. I hope all the prayers will give you strenght and blessings and hope for beautiful days, months, years to come. She, I see, is already a Temptation fan. She can keep the tradition going. Take care sukka and your family.

constance asked me where david is , especially when she sees the tempts with dennis or ali-ollie, etc, so i told her about david and eddie, so whenever she sees the mini series and the tempts dancin' to my girl she says- that's david- he's in heaven! by the way, constance's top tempts songs are-- my girl, cloud nine, just my imagination, get ready, the way you do the things you do, beauty's only skin deep, papa was a rolling stone, you've got to earn it, and can't get next to you. she insists i play them in the car or at home. she also likes the damon concert, and the little medley on our multimedia link that ive set up with david singing lead.
