O.M.G!  Eternally grateful that you put Aaliyah in this story! Was so shocked when I read that babygirl was the mysterious friend; that was a great moment for me.

So it took Chris verbally knocking some sense into Joshua for him to see his wrongdoing?  I'm glad it happened but something about that scares me for their future.  He better start paying attention and quick!  I'm glad Myra's in town and I think the advice she got was good.  She needs to focus on herself and her friends and family and let him do the work.  She deserves the time and energy she gives out returned to her.  Good chapter mama!
