#mourningvibes / #peacetotheancestors Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ I'd like to take a moment to pay homage to the woman to whom I recall first putting a pen in my hand. Happy Birthday Grandma! Thank you for always telling me to keep two pens and few index cards on hand. I appreciate the moments when you provided me with a dictionary and thesaurus to keep on hand, yet I'm most grateful for the moments that you told me: "#keepapenandpaperonyournightstand." Before smartphone technology, it was you that taught me how to pronounce words properly. Since you've transitioned #fromeldertoancestor, I've developed the tendency to smile when I think back to you giving me my first job and me telling you how I would use the money that you gave to me to ensure the women in the family would grow up knowing how it feels #tobelovedproperly. For as "#theworthofaman is to be measured by the value in which he places upon family," not a day goes by that I don't quote you. For #itwaswritten, I had to take a minute to #saythankyou for keeping all of the #poems and letters that I wrote you. ・・・ #vibewise: Happy Birthday Grandma. Remember when you were cleaning up and you threw your jewelry away because it was no good? Well here's a golden pair for your golden ears. Now you have some jewelry again. I would like to say #thankyou for all that you do for me. With Love, From Your Grandson P.S.
