Mommy, Can I Visit Heaven?

Image
By
On this day, I thank God for allowing me and my family to see another day. He didn't have to do it, but he did and I'm forever grateful. As I walked to my kitchen, my youngest daughter Nyasia says mommy is it possible to visit Heaven and return to Earth?

I responded it has been said by doctor's that patients have died on the operating table. Miraculously, they were brought back to life, but that was the work of God working through the doctor. She said okay, but not like that. Now, I am very curious and I ask well NyAsia, what exactly do you mean? Her response was, can I go to Heaven to visit and then come back home. Similar to when we go to visit family and then return home after a few hours. I said, no I don't think that can happen.

A few minutes past and there was an awkward silence lurking between Nyasia an I. So once again, I wanted to know where this was going. I proceeded to inquire and asked, why did she ask that question? I also asked, who would she like to visit? She said I wanted to know because I would visit my baby cousin Sanai. 

At that moment, my heart melted and a sudden sadness took over my entire body.She was gone before we had a chance to meet. We ask the question why? Why you?  At the end of the day, God knew what was best. I like to think Sanai was to perfect for the world we live in and he wanted her with him. My niece would have been a year old. Not a day goes by that we don't think about her. God needed an angel and he chose Sanai. Sleep In Peace Sweet Pea (my nickname for her).Sanai holds a special place in our hearts. We will love her always and forever.

Happy Birthday To Me

By
Thirty-seven years ago today, I blessed the world with my presence. I do not make a fuss of my birthday because I do the same thing every year. NOTHING! I do not plan anything because it is around the time school begins. My daughter's birthday is also a few days later. Those events are far more important. So as a result, I do not do anything . Now that I think about it, in all of my years on this earth I have never had a birthday celebration that consisted of my friends and my family. I have had  intimate gatherings. Each one I had consisted of my immediate family only. This is also because I don't consider everyone I know or associate with my friend. .  After doing a lot of reflecting, I noticed that I have never celebrated anything that I have accomplished in my adult life. So, I have decided that I will create my very own holiday where I celebrate me and all that I have accomplished in my life thus far. So, I wish myself a Happy Birthday to me. God bless me...

Happy 10th Birthday Nyasia

By
It was a cold February day. I recall being at work and talking to my friend/coworker "Medina". I told her that my menstrual cycle was late and I needed to go to Duane Reade during lunch. That day I took a total of four pregnancy test. I needed to make sure because of a previous experience I had with her sister Tereya. When I was pregnant with Tereya, I  also took three test. The results were not accurate. One was positive, two were negative and finally a positive blood test. There is no need for me to elaborate, we all know how the story ended. Lol! September 8th, is a very special day. God blessed me with my second daughter one decade ago today. I remember that night as if it were yesterday. If it were up to the ER physician, Nyasia would have been born in the elevator or the sidewalk. My Ob/Gyn was performing a c-section and he barely made it in time to deliver my baby. Dr. Kuno handed me this little tiny baby with the big beautiful eyes. She was born at 12:56am...

My Browngirl Is Graduating From College Today

By
Screaming Congratulations!!! Today is Tereya's big day. She is graduating from Brooklyn College. Tereya has accomplished so much. I am so proud of her and the young lady she has become. She did not have the opportunity to take her graduation pictures, nor did she have a traditional graduation ceremony today.  We were not able to schedule hair, nail and make up appointments. My plan is to have her do these things as well have her photos taken to commerate this accomplishment. The pandemic came in wreaking havoc on our lives. She had to complete her final semester of college remotely. It was a challenge, but she did not let that or Corona deter her. She held onto the goal and trusted the process. It was not easy, but it was worth it. Guess what Tinkerbell, YOU did it.  You have set the path for your only sister. You may get on each others nerves, but she looks up to you. Tereya you have fought through some bad days to earn the best days of you...
