** NOtE before my Post...
I am so sad!! I had almost all of your addresses saved, and with one slip of my finger, I DELETED them. Would you, Could you please resend them to me? I am so sorry for this inconvenience! I really needed them today 💘
This was the Big weekend for Tammy (my niece) * * * *
I talked about this last week in one of my post.
The big "Night to Shine" prom was on Friday night, and her Birthday lunch was on Sunday.
I want to share the pictures of these two events with you.
Her arrival at the church......Red carpet entrance.
But, the best part? The Dance Floor!
Everyone was moving and celebrating the happiness that was in their hearts. It was a night for making these incredible people feel as special as they truly are.
Thank you to the Tim Tebow Foundation, for creating a space where love, laughter, and light, shines Bright!!
Next for Tammy, was her Birthday Celebration. It is so hard for me to believe that on Feb. 14th she will be considered "Over the Hill." 50 years Old.
The brain injury she suffered 47 years ago has left her with a cognitive mind similar to a 10 year old. Sadly, this is where her mind will remain. Or, is it sad? She is the happiest, most loving person I've ever known.
Tammy was totally surprised when she walked into the restaurant with her sister. She had no idea we had planned a big party for her! We had Balloons, a crown, a sash, gifts, money cards, and a huge cookie cake on the table, waiting for her to be celebrated.
It really was a special Celebration!
Reach for the Stars Tammy. Keep Dancing, Keep Dreaming, and Keep shining!

ReplyDeleteMay God continue to bless Tammy! Indeed, she is shining brightly at that event, and I'm so happy that she could be surprised by her birthday party. Thanks for sharing this beautiful post with us today, Shug. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful prom night and surprise party! Thank you for sharing these blessings!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This post filled my heart with joy! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace,
Pam
What a wonderful weekend for her! I loved this post!
ReplyDeleteShe sure does not look as old as she is! And she looks so happy! Her dress is beautiful. And I think that maybe one blessing of her condition is that she does not worry and fret as much about the world's condition? With more of an innocent mind.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing... I love the all the smiles. And all the LOVE that pours out from this post.

My goodness! What a wonderful weekend for a beautiful young woman! Thank you for sharing the joy and the fun. Hugs and love to you, my friend. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThe Night to shine is such a fabulous event. I helped serve one year at an event put on at our former church. It was very similar to Tim Tebow's but on a local level. Dancing, the red carpet and lots of goodies.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your niece. That was quite a party you gave her.
Love everything about this post Shug !!!

How wonderful! Happy Birthday to your sweet Tammy!
ReplyDeleteShug, I just got a request from "you" that you needed my mailing address. I hesitate replying on FB messenger since I apparently have been hacked.
ReplyDeleteSue
The photo is of you I think, but it is not your current one that comes on my blog.
DeleteSue
It was me!! I totally understand..I'm the say way with messenger. I lost all my mailing contact addresses and needed to get them set up again...thanks Sue for being cautious.
DeleteWhat a heartwarming post! I'm so happy for Tammy and you all. ❤️
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the smile on Tammy's face makes my heart just glow. Better than any Miss America pageant. You have such a wonderful way with words; thank you for sharing them with us here!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you an "e" right now.
What a touching tribute for your lovely niece. I agree with you - her life is full of love and joy and she’s seems very happy. One can’t question the why’s in someone’s life - only God knows. All we can do to trust Him. He loves her more than anyone! Tammy is still His instrument.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful program - my step daughter has a mental disability due to a grand mal seizure as an infant. She’s more the a teenager at 45. I wish there was something like that when she was younger - she missed out on all those events.
Beautiful post that gave me a lump in my throat. Tammy is a beautiful woman.
What a wonderful and memorable night for Tammy. She looks so happy dancing on the dance floor. She must have had a blast at her Prom. And a Happy Birthday to her too! So sweet that her birthday is on Valentine's Day. She does not look 50. This was a fun celebration you planned for her at the restaurant. She looks so radiant wearing her crown. What a fun and special day for her. And a really thoughtful thing for all of you to do. : )
