I still hear you humming, Mama. The color of your song calls me home.
The color of your words saying, "Let her be.
She got a right to be different.
She gonna stumble on herself one of these days.
Just let the child be."
And I be, Mama.
~Sonia Sanchez
I had the great joy of spending the entire afternoon, yesterday, with just my oldest daughter.
Just me and her - her and me.
A rather rare treat - by why?
Why don't we do this more often - I thought, as the beautiful-sunny-February afternoon swept us away. We need to!
We are!
You see, my daughter is growing up. Her wings are starting to spread.
The time we spend together is important - vital!
I love her so much.
...my beautiful daughter of mine.
