Zane, I fell in love with you because nobody has ever given me the love you have given me. You’ve given me a reason for smiling once again.
You’ve filled my life with peaceful dreams and you’ve become my closest friend. I accept you for the person that you are and I don’t wish to change you into someone else.
Daddy, for you with no questions asked, I would instantly give it all.
Merry Christmas. Mrs. Brassfield, soon-to-be.

This is your year, baby, 2020; can’t wait for the gates to let the real GOAT out! 2/27/17!

Around 200,000 kids across Florida may not auto- matically qualify for free lunch in the next school year, be- cause a Trump administra- tion proposal may limit some families from getting food stamps.
"I would really hope that everything is really not taken lightly,” parent Megan Evans said.
She knows all too well the heavy burden for some fami- lies who struggle to make ends meet. She is a single mother who gets help paying for her son's meals at school.
"By the end of the year, when you look back and you see how much parents are ac- tually paying for a lunch; it can add up," Evans said.
Megan Sexton, of the Pasco County School District, said more than 40,000 of their students are eligible for free or reduced lunch and about 600 of those kids may be affected by the new proposal.
"Even if they do not qualify for benefits, we have other programs and other things in place, where we can try and help them out; depending on their individual situation," Sexton said.
