Thank you to everyone that called, texted, and came by to celebrate my 36th birthday with me!! 🥰🥰 36 is a weird personal milestone year for me. After this year, I will officially embark on a journey where I have lived more years without my Dad in the physical. My Dad passed away when I was 18 and this year equals the amount of time that I spent with him versus spent without him (in the physical, he is ALWAYS with me). It’s a weird thing to calculate but 🤷🏾♀️ ! Grief is interesting. I would say even though I experienced such a trauma very early into adulthood it did not break me. I sometimes forget to look back what I have accomplished and all that I have powered through over the years. Bachelors in Biology, Masters in Biotechnology, loving husband, 3 amazing kids, 1 awesome dog, new house, new business @thedopekidfest , great friends @katie_cakora @naa_ta_le @fithearty and new adventures and I can’t wait to experience!! I have learned lots of things over the years. Value everyone and everything in life. Always find the good in the worst of situations. Reflect on your greatness and always choose love over hate. #HappyBirthdaytoMe 😘😘 . . . . . . . . . . #mommyblogger #dmvblogger #thedopeladies #dmvmoms #blackmomsblog #blackmomskillingit #blackmomblogger #blackmommagic #heyblackmom #imsobloggingthis #justmeomaya (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByT5uPEAhdF/?igshid=wspix7dm6epy
