This may get long but, I'm feelin' this. The ultimate #tbt...wow, packing got me like 😢 It's not a bad thing, but it's an untapped thing. It's so funny how we allow ourselves to put things "away", whether it's conscious or subconscious...its left "unattended", until it's not. I didn't even realize how much I miss my beautiful grandmother until I ran across all these pictures of her, as well as pics of my daddy and I, and little me. There's a lot of unfinished business for me in these pictures. None of it bad necessarily, just eye opening, soul cracking (it lets the light in) and heart opening. These are my people. My mother raised me, and I love her beyond words; but these are my people. These are the people I share my eye color, skin color, hair color with. These people are bold and loud and full of life, energy, heart & Grace. And that was her name. IS her name. Grace. I miss you Grace Vela. We shared so much more than a last name and a birthday, we had a connection and I feel you with me all the time. And just for the record, you made one hell of a son, that no matter how I've tried to fight it over the years...I am so much like him. Love mi familia.
