Smile4SmileyLoveMovement In Loving Memory of Anaiona Gaston

🦋 If we had the power to instantly end this confusing situation that many of us are facing, it's likely that a million people would choose to snap our finger and wake up from this nine year old nightmare🥲🕊🦋😭

🦋 It is a tragic situation that my daughter has been unable to fulfill her role as a mother, and her daughter is left without her mother. This young girl is now faced with the challenge of growing up at the graveyard. Even though she has family who loves her deeply this is still Princess story💔. I hope my daughter hunts this man down for taking her away from her princess/toots/lil smiley🙏🏽😭. HE COULD NEVER EXPLAIN THE TRUTH BEHIND PRINCESS AND WHY SHES GROWING UP AT THE GRAVEYARD😡😪

For six years, I held a grief support circle every Memorial Day to help myself and those who loved my daughter heal from the trauma. We are healing day by day, but it never goes away. That man RUINED many of us but we are all still on our healing journey for Princess Blake (a child he knows nothing about and never supported).

I LOVE THEIR SHIRTS WITH MY BABY FACE AND THEY ALL GOT MATCHING ONES. I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND I THANK YOU ALL 🥰

She was rady to be a mother but clearly he wasn't ready to be a father!! He ruined my daughters baby shower and her life!! END TEEN DATING VIOLENCE

Happy Birthday Princess Blake!!! I was glad when Mommy had you. You will be 2 years old tomorrow May 9th 2018 and I LOVE Mommy for having you May 9, 2016 which is the same year she was stolen from you but we are going to CELEBRATE YOU LIKE SHE WOULD WANT US TOO. We PARTYING TOMORROW!!!!!!!

My baby was a victim of gun violence, but he didn't care. When my daughter was rushed to PG Hospital, that man was nowhere to be found to help her, and now I know why: less than a year later, he murdered my daughter! I live with the consequences of his actions everyday since 30 July 2016!

💙 Her Baby Father knew my daughter was shot before, and we were all scared when this happened to her randomly at party one night, but, I kinda knew it didn’t really matter to him because he wasn’t present when this happened. Now, I know today, it didn’t matter to him because he murdered my daughter 7.30.16. 💕 🦋 ❤️ ☝🏽

I live with these consequences everyday and all he could do was lie about murdering my daughter! END TEEN DATING VIOLENCE

🦋 🦋 🦋 🦋 💔 💔 HAPPY24thBirthday Sweets Mommy & Daddy Loves You Deeply & Blake Loves you 💙🦋💯

I have to live with the consequences of this tweet everyday!!! END TEEN DATING VIOL

💙 Smiley tweeted this on tomorrow 7.24.16 6 days before he murdered her 7.30.16. Why was she “Loyal” to a man that put a gun to her head more than once and made her feel less than by messing with other women. Why would she not believe the “Lies” of her relationship that was presented to her several times over the course of three years; proof, she showed it to me. She’s tweeting a plan to stay with him, and meanwhile he’s planning her murder six days later, why would she not believe the “Betrayal” in the “Lies” he was getting caught up in. I do believe if my daughter could have waited it out, she would have moved on only to co parent Blake. The intention of this tweet was never to leave Blake but to believe like so many others “make it work syndrom” it’s a syndrom that leave victims m/f thinking their loyalty/love is good enough to fix the bad behavior and it’s just not so. MY PROFESSIONAL ADVICE? STOP CONVINCING YOURSELF THAT WHAT YOU SAW WASN’T WHAT YOU SAW AND BELIEVE THE RED FLAGS UPFRONT🤷🏽‍♀️💕📌 🙏🏽

❤️ One of the worst days of my life was 9 years ago today. Look what did to your daughter, you robbed your daughter of her Mom! She’s the real survivor on 30 July 2016, because two bullets were shot that night. Thank God, He saved Princess from the bullets you intended to shoot my daughter with that night. 🥰 we could have lost both of our love ones that night 9 years ago but God had another plan because Princess is 9 years old. For all my parents out there who have lost a child or children, this pain NEVER goes away. Technically, we don’t know if our child or children are in a better place, my mom, Altoria Gaston, told me, “Our loved ones that have gone to heaven never came back and told us it’s a better place.” But grief therapy and Jesus do help with understanding the 5 stages we experience when losing our child or children. I still THANK GOD for my sister Laura Longden Morris for helping me with my grief by opening her home and her dinner table to provide a safe space for the grief therapy group. If you need group support, reach out in secret.

#Smile4SmileyLoveMovement You can’t tell Princess @nanaxblake is not a butterfly 🦋 She comes to us in butterfly formation🦋 Lil Smiley calling her mommy😭#1MillionPPL🦋#Need2Know🦋 #SmileyStory🦋 #Inspirational🙏🏽 #BestMom🏆 #TurnTragedyInto❤️

9 years ago today we laid this beautiful woman, daughter, granddaughter, big sister, niece, and friend to rest, and the nightmare continues. He said, “Miss Gaston, she was different.” She was different, alright. Why did you murder her? He said, “It was an accident,” but never sent any remorseful attributes on this day 9 years ago. In fact, he’s still lying about my daughter’s murder being an “accident” right now today. If you are reading this reel or you know someone m/f who is a victim or abuser, let them know they can devise an exit and reach out in secret. 🦋 🦋 🦋 ❤️

🦋 Today, 9 years ago, my daughter’s candlelight visual is still a nightmare and unreal 😭💔. I love and appreciate you all, but the saga continues, and even though we celebrated my daughter’s life and love she gave to many she came in contact with, we are all still affected by her untimely demise, no thanks to her ex-boyfriend who took her life because he knew he could 🥵.

Here is the question many may want to know, what did your daughter do to deserve being shot in the head while holding her two month old daughter?

A. Absolutely nothing! He played with my daughter's life because he knew my daughter operated in love and forgiveness. He knew my daughter was loyal to his cheating games and his lies, and he betrayed her. He’s still lying today, telling people “he killed my daughter by accident.” Her death certificate doesn’t say accidental at all.

B. This man has taken no accountability for murdering his daughter’s mother for no reason; doing time and taking accountability are two different things🤦🏽‍♀️.

C. Smile4SmileyLoveMovementFam, males and females, do not let anyone play with your life. If your M/F abuser is playing with your feelings, and there's evidence of that, you can devise an exit. Trust me, if my daughter could turn back the hands of time and be here for her daughter, I KNOW SHE WOULD DROP HIM LIKE A HOTCAKE.

D. The loyalty is always to yourself first so If you feel unsafe, unsure, uncertain, uncomfortable, and being treated unkindly, you can exit a domestic violence relationship and get out safely; it’s all about strategy. You must reach out to a professional for a solid exit plan. Remember, family, friends, and loved ones, the victim (m/f) has the final say whether to stay, leave and go back, or exit for good. 🦋 🦋 🦋 ❤️
