My Greatest Achievement
Daniel Linn Franklin was born April 12, 2005 at 3:01pm in Howard University's Hospital located in the nation's capital, Washington,DC. Daniel weighed 11lbs 1oz and was 22 inches! Seeing his beautiful face and being the mother of such a joyful child has been the best gift that God has ever given to me. However, being able to bring him into this world was my first step, helping him to become a godly, diligent, and honorable man is my life's long mission. That will indeed be my greatest achievement!
