Happy Mother's Day, my Sisters...

I was in a club in San Antonio, Texas when the music stopped -- the DJ announced that Tupac Amaru Shakur was dead. When I got home, my sons were asleep. The next morning though, because they loved him and his music so damned much, they sadly told me what I already knew.  It was a bonding moment that I can't even begin to explain (so much love and respect for Afeni Shakur!):



The first time I heard this song from young Mr. Blacc, it was a snot-running-down-my-face affair.  My boys said, "Yeah, we knew you'd love this shit, Mom" --  and they were so right!!:



Happy Mother's Day, my Sisters (particularly those of you with sons cuz  -- "for a woman, it ain't easy tryin' to raise a man").  As commercialized as the day always was, and still is -- know that, without a doubt, there's some real love for you there, from those to whom you gave life!

Happy Birthday today to my first-born, Gemini Son and Happy Belated to my Aries Baby

I'd begun a post in April for my Baby-boy, but as life continued to happen, it remained a draft.

Today, I honor both my beautiful sons on the 27th birthday of the oldest and the 24th birthday of the youngest - just passed (Spring and Summer are pretty busy around here!). I have so much faith in their promise!

I hope you both will always, always know the depth of my love for you!!!

Mom
