On December 31, Sunshine also wrote about how the year 2022 has been memorable to her and her three girls.
"They now have the piece that has been missing for years and I am genuinely happy for my princesses. They are good girls and they deserve the best in life. Love and forgiveness prevailed in our little family and that’s all that matters. I am always grateful to HIM for the blessings he has given me and my girls. Our family will never be perfect. We will for sure face more challenges and trials but I will choose this family over and over again. I had my fair share of disappointments and heartaches this year but I will not choose to change the struggles I had because it made me who I am today, a better and stronger version of myself."
Looking forward to an exciting and love filled 2023 for me and our family.
Advance Happy New Year. May God bless us all," she said.
Happy New Year, indeed!
