Mapping a Curved Road

Today was a vey bittersweet one. Days devoted to paying respect to a great woman and honor her legacy as well as reconnect with many loved ones that I have not seen in a very long time. For many this reunion was possibly long overdue and some were already in the making but cherished just the same. Its difficult when you see those you love under circumstances surrounding events such as the passing of a loved one.

The legacy left behind is a long one, with many branches on this tree. The youngest ones will have a colorful assortment of stories and lessons to learn about their Grandmother as they grow into adulthood. Happily, I have my own stories to tell about Mrs. Jefferson. I’m happy to have memories all  my own that will make me smile just thinking about them.  Her children have plenty to recall upon whenever they want to relive the moments shared with the woman that birthed and raised them.

The love I have for each of them is individually tailored to fit the dynamic we share. I’ve developed many lifelong relationships, and am eternally grateful for each and every one….

Thank you for the time you shared with me as well as the gifts you left for me ♥
