"I admired EVERYTHING about her And so I grew up, even after her passing away, wanting to look just like she And the other beautiful black women surrounding me"
< ---- In the snippet above I'm speaking of my mother: "Having Tea With My Sisters"
She, to me, wasA beautiful example of whatA mother, wife, sister, daughter, neighbor, friend should be!.. After her passing... my 8th grade teacher (Mrs Ruth Taylor) became my hero... in latter years, forA period, it was my aunt (Brenda)... And even since - I have women that I look to And respect.
I'm preparing for my return trip home (reminiscing about my childhood) As I reflect, I wonder.. .. .. Are the days gone that WE are nurturing strong inspiring examples to our children ??? Do children still aspire to grow up to be just like their mom dad aunt uncle teacher ???
LIFE seems to happen harder and faster in 2014. Are we positioned (morally financially spiritually) to be examples; to our youth I guess would be a better question?
