villages.nightmares.blood.

[23 october 2008]
so, maybe you thought this was about halloweens near approach. or maybe it was about a student in my class. nope - its about family, and how much i love them.
i dont know if people know that i appreciate them but here i am going to make an attempt to name everyone that comes to mind .... my village, both then now and forever ;-)
((in no particular order))
...mommy (garnet known as mo): i love you honeybunches! now, if you have never met my mom she is the epitome of cool, the definition of fly, the last puzzle piece to the enigma we call life. my mom is like the best woman ever. she is super smart, like, forreal, dont try to play her in scrabble, and if u do, never challenge her, u will lose! but moreso than that she is my friend, not my bestest of bestest best best best but shes the bf. now, i have a bff, who i will get to later, but she is just (ma, there are no words). she is everything u want to be but you will never really get to her level because God created a new level for her that is just unreachable for the average person. she has taught me thinks that, well, i will love her forever because she taught them to me. (lol). simple things like, when i was 2(ish) I was fighting sleep once and she said "you know you can go to sleep when you are sleepy, right?" and i said "really? im going to bed now!" now, to you that may not be a big deal, but to me it was like "ahhhhhh" the gates to heaven have let me in! she was that mom that always nursed you to health and never got sick. she was that mom that made sure she was on every field trip (except toronto, sorry) and always the group leader of everyone, lol. she was the mom that sold so many girl scout cookies I got tired and she passed them out. she was the mom that held me down through therapy, to make sure i still got into college. she is still that mom that proofreads all of my papers, calls me at random times just because she had something funny to say or a question to ask. she married my father, and Lord knows (well, ill get to him in a minute, *smile*). she raised 2 blood children, 9million sons, a gazillion babies, and some grandparents, all in a days work. my mom is the greatest.

...popdiddly: ok so, my dad is the funniest man on the face of this earth. but unbeknownst (um, yea, you know what i mean) to most people, he may know more things than my mom ... real talk. he is the funny laid back guy that was at every concert, all the dinners, and luncheons, every daddy daughter dance, suffered through debutante dance lessons, took me shopping, bought me stuff, taught me instrumentation and musicality, helped me disect random animals, like EVERY fish that died in our fish tank, supported me through bates, renaissance, spelman, japan ... my dad is the greatest. love you man! he is that father that may not agree with what you are doing at the time, but before he lectures you he will find some way to slide in at least one positive message just to let u know he was listening and does care about your desires. he is the guy thatll scold you and make sure you know that what you did was stupid, but, at the end of the day, he loved you first. ive gotten so many traits from my father, im so glad God blessed me with him. its crazy how people say you cant pick your family, well, if i had to, id pick the same clowns that love me now. daddy is that one guy that you may never fully understand, but youre glad you get him enough. love you pops!

...skipper-roo: henry, i love you. im not mushy, i promise, but i love you. i do. i am impressed by your drive and your intellect. you take your time to get there, but when you do, its the masterpiece that noone was expecting. i cant wait for you to have some rugrats, i think you will be one of the best fathers on the face of this planet. you are definitely someone i have always looked up to and will always. mom and dad always used to tell us "we are gonna die, but you will have each other forever, you are each others best friends and you better keep it that way." in our own screwed up little situation, we are best friends. now, do we know everything about one another? no! but trust, im gonna hold u down and i know you will hold me down, its in our blood.
.
...POODA: oh you thought bff was gonna be revealed? ha! yeah right ... ((yes mom, you know who the bff is... home depot, pizza hut, computers.... yea think about it)). well, hes my bff, i love him dearly. he is everything you never wanted but something that you always needed. he understands me and i understand him. thats that. i love you.
.
... sexy six: crichet, ron b., california sunshine, courtie bourtie, noey .... wow, its been so long. you all are blood, as far as im concerned, you all love me in some strange way, but im glad you do. i dont see u enough or say it enough but i love you all.
.
...tabor/conerway/conway/briggs/ice..... too many names but they all rooted from somewhere, i love you. its too many to give you each a paragraph but i love you. i love you. i love you. thank you for loving me too.
.
...extended family: thank you for the job reccommendations, the recommendation letters, the babysitting jobs, the road trips, the food, the beds, the cars, the dates, the outtings, the everything. i dont have enough words and enough energy to begin to say thank you to everyone, but if you dont know i love you I LOVE YOU!
.
...southfield moms&mentors: i was talking to a friend last night about a situation. you often wonder where your feet will take you, but its always interesting to find out. i do know one thing, i love you guys. if i took the letters out of your titles you would still hold me down and that is why i can say i love you and will see you soon .... love.
.
.
im sure there are more people that i love and i cant call by name, forgive me. but know you loved me first, or maybe i loved you first, but the point is we are loved, by each other, today! i love you, i thank you, i miss you.
