Disclaimer: My Mother is alive and today's her birthday🥳 HAPPY BEARTHDAY DAY, MADEA👑 (And to Grandma Pearl and Grandpa Ernest that made YOU possible🙌🏾) My Mom??? She's a Mom. Never felt I needed a replacement. No one could. She is a force incomparable. I got the Mothership, y'all with Mama @Joy and I'm sure anyone with a "Mother" (alive or deceased) knows exactly what I mean. For her, I have nothing but, immense gratitude (beyond measure) as this is not the plight of many beautiful souls born without the nurturing and security of a Mother's lap, arms, care, guidance, wisdom, discipline, love and support. We all have our complaints (about our parents rearings) until we live - A LOT - and realize that many were making decisions in the fire. In the cold. In the storm. Under siege. And that they were doing their absolute best to protect us while they were often unprotected. It ain't easy. At all. Cats have 9 lives? Well, Mothers must be God. Well --- they know how to connect with God and bring NO - THING into its destined SOME - THING. They fight! They war for their children. And that is the honor, the Bible speaks of, that MUST be given to those Mothers and Fathers (caregivers) that thy days might be long upon the Earth. The honor of sacrifice. Respect... Exodus 20:12 KJV 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Their sacrifices give them legendary status that make mythological gods look like amateur video game players. My Mom gave us and other's children tools needed to navigate this world and prevail. "To thine own self be true", resonates as one of her guiding principles that helped me confront the lies within and discern those lies adrift without. My Mom sat the bar high and also gave us the confidence to trust our own wings to fly. I am beyond grateful that I get to post this while she can read it. #THANKYOUMOM🙏🏾 Which brings me to my dream last night or rather after Midnight today, August 31st. Her born day: Augusta 31,1945 (New Orleans, Louisiana) #Cherokee #Natchitoche #Choctaw 💝👑💝👑💝👑💝👑💝👑💝👑💝👑💝👑💝 Next post... https://www.instagram.com/p/CTQEfzHPf87/?utm_medium=tumblr
