LEFT BEHIND TO MOVE FORWARD

Happy Birthday to everyone who is taking the time to read this because today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Princess TaMiah Traylor and our families are very thankful to God that we all are still here to live and carry on in the year 2023. This time is being taken for all of us to reflect on all our loved ones who have passed. Whether their passing was due from poor health, gun violence, domestic violence, air, sea or land auto accidents. We all must learn to forgive ourselves and others. We must always remember all of the great amazing happy times that we served together with our loved ones.

TaMiah is the youngest sister of Ariell Gipson. Ariell completed her state exam as an LVN in 2017. Shortly after this joyous accomplishment, Ariell passed from a fatal auto accident. The auto accident took place off 5th street in San Bernardino.

Ariell's loved ones miss her each and every day, knowing that the pain from this loss will never truly go away. Yet, TaMaiah is now 19 and working towards becoming a Veterinary Nurse. TaMiah has been through so much in her lifetime. She has had heart surgery at only a few months old, tonsil as well as adenoid removal surgery around age 7 and through the grace of God, overcome COVID-19 as well. 

Each day has been an uphill impact. We all have to heal in our own way. This is a reminder that your health is more important than wealth. Many are dealing with the loss of loved ones and facing rough times financially. This leads to depression and our mental health impacting the way we live. 

TaMiah and Ariell's mother's goal today is to remind everyone that they are not alone. If you or anyone you know truly feels that they have no one to turn to, try and remember that there is ALWAYS someone out there to help. Please do not hurt yourself, nor anyone else. Please look forward to the years to come. You are loved and needed here on earth.

 In remembrance of Willie Frank Brown (Uncle)
