Happy Mother’s Day ! – Talking With AT

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to my beautiful mother and all the other mothers out there. It doesn’t matter if you’re biologically a mom, missing a mom, or a mom who’s lost; once a mother, always a mother, the number of children doesn’t change that. I know this day can be beautiful and hard for so many. I lost my mom 4 years ago and not one day passes that I don’t wish she was here. Today’s post won’t be super long or even sad, I actually just wanted to share a few fun memories. I hope those of you who are hurting find comfort today and do something to honor your mom.

1993. Look at this Bayou bred queen rocking the mini fro and killer legs. Oh yeah i’m pretty cute too or whateva.

Girlscout Mother-Daughter Luau. Mom and I always got lost getting to G.S events; this is before Google Maps became so advanced. That night we did the limbo and she only got half way because she was 5’10.

Literally seconds before she had to tell my little brother to stop climbing on the gate, hence the face he’s making. This was the first time I’d ever been to the White House. Ignore the peace sign and denim jacket; I was unhealthily obsessed with both.

Random stranger taking this photo but please notice the firm hand on my brother; he was gonna bolt. Somehow we always knew not to test her.

My mom could literally fall asleep ANYWHERE. We had a house full of people and she was out. She once thought an earthquake was someone jack hammering and she fell right back to sleep.

Support System. I would not have made it without them. Also, check out my adorable nephew when he was 5.

To have known my mom is to love her. I’ve never met a more calm human in my life, not much could get under her skin. My mom possessed a quiet strength and a regal attitude that made everyone she met want to know her more. I thank God i’m part of her and I know she’s loving me from above.

Mom and Dad just kickin’ it. I just want to be half as cool as her.

Happy Mother’s Day to a true bad ass. I love you Mama forever.
