Writing can be a lifeline, especially when your existence has been denied, especially when you have been left on the margins, especially when your life and process of growth have been subjected to attempts at strangulation.

The Happiest of Birthdays

My momma, me, DeVaun, Rodney and my daddy.

My momma, me, DeVaun, Rodney and my daddy.

Considering that I was blessed with another year on this earth, 48 years to be exact, this was the best birthday I could have ever had.

I didn’t take an expensive trip, I didn’t eat a lavish meal with my husband, I didn’t receive the latest technological gift. No, I spent it with both my parents, my brothers and their children. When I was asked my by husband and kids what I wanted for my birthday, my response was simple, “to spend the day with my family”.

What made it even more special is that my 3 kids were home too. This was the happiest and the best birthday ever!
