PEACE Sis

One More Petal don dropped

She shined Bright.


Already a Trooper/Savior/ROCK in the Face of HER Sister's Untimely death from LUPUS


She stood as the MOTHER/Daughter Supreme to her NIECE,


Her Mother and Father,


as well as her GROWING Family.


When her father passed...BIG JIM...her lids grew a bit heavier as THEIR Family shifted once again...LOSING a ROOT that it shook US ALL to the core.


Still, in that way that women do, she forged on...for now she had to little girls to show and grow.


We have to believe that she has done all that she was to do here and that we will be better for it.  We have to know that those two young women have been equipped with enough LOVE and KNOWLEDGE and UNFLINCHING FOSTERism to be Unapologetically be the woman their mother saw for them...sees for them.


We have to believe that JC and Kim shared a union...a LOVE...a Marriage that knew no bounds.  We have to know in the time they shared theirs was as unique a union as any, born of LOVE, TRUST, and Stuff.  Those Little Women being their shared MAIN CONCERN.


We have to know that the LEGACY of LOVE, WIT, FAMILY, StyLe she shared with US will be enough to sustain us.  We have to go on.  We have to do as KIM did...assess the situation, plan and proceed...with a giggle.


I LOVE YOU.


I LOVE that I have known a person like you.  When your sister passed, I lost my BIG SISTER.  With you moving ON...I loose my first LOVE...even if it was just Puppy.  That Youthful, Innocent, Raw...Unfiltered Joy someone giggle brings about...the SMILE elicited as you bear witness to their growth and happiness; the shoulder and ear when understanding and pain needed to be negotiated; that HMPH when we commiserated about that BAPs and Beyond; the PRIDE in the Life and Loves borne out of unexpected unions...as well as the need to be ALL that they can be UNAPOLOGETICALLY as we promised. 


I will not forget The Long Talks on the phone...as my first Gi/Urlfriend.
I will not forget The Group, J/J, EC and Y'alls parties
I will not forget the Junior Prom
I will not forget The Vineyard
I will not forget The Dude Ranch
I will not forget Purple Rain and Dougie Fresh Concert
I will not forget the TRACK TEAM and LEAH!!!
I will not forget the wedding.
I will not forget the Laugh; the Smile; The Attitude






We have to know that Big Jim, Debbie and now Kim are watching...rejoicing...Lovingly...Wickedly...guiding our continued steps...as ANGELs do.


PEACE n LOVE Sis


I will not forget.
