New journeys in love…

I find it hard to write about love when things go right. I guess it’s easier to publish my pain than to reveal my smile. Therefore I will say this, and leave it alone…I thoroughly enjoy having someone who uplifts me and encourages me both spiritually and emotionally. What I see as flaws, he sees as perfection. He seeks me out just to hear my voice, and sometimes we say nothing at all…just knowing that we want to be in each other’s presence is enough. This may have a happy ending, or it may just be another experience to add to my book of life, but I’m enjoying the journey, and I would be wrong not to express my appreciation towards this gentleman who has crossed my path…

My family was blessed with two maternal grandmothers. My biological grandmother, Arlene (on the left) and my great aunt, Alberta (on the right) raised their children together as one family. My grandmother passed away before I was born, but I always knew my great aunt as grandma as well. She was mommy to my mother, aunts, and uncles, and though she could never replace my biological grandmother, I am grateful to have experienced the love that both sisters shared for all their children at one unit. I know that I would not be the woman I am today without the influence of these two women. Happy Mother’s Day.

I loved you through your pain, and you loved me just enough to keep me around.

Dr. King toppled to the concrete second-floor walkway. Blood gushed from the right jaw and neck area. His necktie had been ripped off by the blast.” An emergency surgery failed to save Dr. King’s life. He was declared dead about an hour after being shot. it was 45 years ago, today. 45 Years ago today. Rest in Peace Dr.King. #heros #weremember
