I am so happy to announce that this day was so much better than I expected and far better than I hyped myself up to make it. I have replayed this day in my mind for sometime now, convincing myself that it was important to reframe it. To give it a different meaning, but I spent far too much time over analyzing it when all I really had to do was live it and not wish it away. It actually became one of my most productive days and not the force yourself to stay busy, but the I am so thankful that I had so much to do busy. I shed some tears but they were actually from just wanting my Grandfather to be here. I found pleasure in shopping (who knew those two words would ever go together) I was able to spend some quality time with my daughter's Godmother and my friend of twenty years as she prepares for her big day this Friday; a new marriage and her big move to Texas. I am so happy for her and sad for me that she will not be right here in Georgia, but now we have one more place to go visit!!! She introduced me to a strange new place to enjoy lunch Fresh2Go gets two thumbs up. She was a voice of reason with Jhys and we found the perfect Homecoming dress and shoes that did not break the bank or budget. I was able to chat with my Bff love hearing her voice and can't wait for her visit in two weeks. I cleaned the car with my favorite girl and delighted in the wonderful dinner she made for just us two!! I am sure that if I count I have 23 plus reasons to be grateful that this day came!! Mainly because God gave my Grandfather 91 amazing years and I was able to spend 34 of those year with him. He displayed unconditional love and for that life lesson alone, I will forever LOVE HIM BACK!!!
Dedicated to Ralph P. Washington Sr. Half Man, Half Amazing!!! All LOVE!!
