    whoops I wondered where I was going…I thought that it was about your Philip Treacy hat. You are a fabulous person Tamika and very beautiful(lucky lady) and I do hope that my adverse comments about those funny looking hats did not worry you.
    At 72 years of age a hat is a hat and is supposed to be like they used to be , In their own way they are beautiful but not for me.

    You will have a great successful life Miss Tamika and I am sure that you will be a person that any Mother would be proud of.

    Love Patrecia
