Welcome Baby Madeleine!

Hello,

Yesterday, September 26th 2012, a little girl named Madeleine was born. Who is she? Well let me tell you.
Madeleine is the grand daughter of a very dear friend a mine called Ruthie.
 I met Ruthie as young lady when I came to the U.S and moved to Sherman, Tx to go to a community college in 2003. From the moment I met her, I knew she was a special woman. She is the nicest, kindest, sweetest woman I have ever met and I am so blessed to call her my friend!!!

Ruthie has been there for me through thick and thin and I am so grateful to have her in my life:

• She was there when I had to get out of the dorm and had no where to go for the summer. She gracefully offered me to stay at her house the whole summer (free of charge I should add).
• She was there when my parents came for my graduation and we were trying to find a good living arrangement for them. I did not want them to go to a hotel because they have no kitchens, meaning we will have to eat out all the time and I desperately wanted to eat my mommy's homemade meals. Once again Ruthie offered to host them, she gave up her Master's bedroom and slept in another room. How many people do you know that can do that? I tell you this woman is a treasure to me:)
• Ruthie was "in the secret" when Ola wanted to propose to me. Off course she was there the day of the proposal!
• Ruthie was my wedding planner/assistant/shopping helper/counselor and everything in between during the wedding planning
• I wanted Ruthie to do my make up and hair on my wedding day and she did.
• She was there when I gave birth to Yemi and even though she was super busy at the time, every time she could, she came to visit.

Ruthie is one those friend that people wished they had and I am oh so blessed to have her!

So back to baby Madeleine. Ruthie has 2 children: her daughter Natalie and her son Daniel. Daniel is currently living and working in South Korea. Natalie is married to a wonderful Canadian guy named Andre.
Natalie gave birth to baby Madeleine:) So Ruthie just became a second time grand mother (Yemi is her first grand son lol)

My heart is full of Joy for Natalie, Andre and Ruthie and I am ready to spoil Madeleine rotten!

Do you have a friend like that in your life? A friend that's been there through every major event in you life? Please tell!
