Family

This Sunday was Fathers Day and my father’s birthday. Instead of moping around missing him my siblings and I were celebrating him.  Myself, three of my sisters and my two brothers met up in Atlanta for a quick 24hr trip. Residing in 5 different states, getting everyone in the same place is no easy feat, but 6 out of 7 is not bad!  Each one of us possesses a different but undeniable characteristic that assures we are all from the same blood line. In meeting the 7 of us you would definitely get a feel for who my father was.   I really believe it brought joy to my Fathers heart as he looked down and saw his children in one place spending time together.  I am sure he is proud to see that all of us are doing ok and we are looking after each other. I miss him so much but am glad he left me with so many reminders of him thru them.

Speaking of family I want to give a shot out to a family who has adopted me as their own and has been Godsend since I have met them and especially during the rough times. The Humphrey’s have kept me grounded and made my life as easy as possible however they can.  Whether it be helping pack for a trip, looking after Atheena while I am away, fixing up around the house, making airport runs or just keeping us company on holidays my mother and I would otherwise spend alone they are ALWAYS there when I need them. For group of people to make such an effort when they have so much going on in their own lives mean the world to me. So Calvin, Deborah, Talib, Kashata, Khayla, Keyonne,  Jakiya, Jalen and Taniyah. Thanks!
