What Do Dreams About Lost Loved Ones Really Mean?

Today is February 23, 2015. Four years ago today was when Timile was officially diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Almost all of the celebration of us becoming parents nine days earlier went out the window as our new family went into crisis and began to go into survival mode. With it being that day I thought […]

Three Years Later and a Phone Call From Heaven

We remember the days that people die more than birthdays. Why? Because we weren’t there for the birth of our friends’ and loved ones. But we do remember where we were and what we were doing the moment that we received the news that they are no longer with us on earth.On Monday December 8, […]

Why I Still Haven’t Visited Timile’s Grave Site

I posted this picture on Instagram on Friday afternoon. Virginia had been on my mind heavily and I decided to share some of my thoughts. A couple of friends of mine told me I need to stop playing around and visit Timile’s grave site. Why? If one had been the places that I’ve been […]

Cydney’s Lament

A little over a week ago I wrote about how Cydney is grieving the loss of her mother. Somehow I was hoping that it wouldn’t happen, but it was inevitable. I hate to use the term “acting out,” so I’ll say that she is expressing a brand new feeling that she doesn’t know how to […]

Cydney Grieving Her Loss

I know…I haven’t been posting anywhere near as frequently as I’d like to or used to. I’ll work on that. I have plenty of stories to tell. Cydney has been going through some changes over the last month or so. She had been making so much progress since she started daycare. She was finally getting […]

WHY MEN MARRY SOME WOMEN AND NOT OTHERS

I read this article on The Minority Eye a few weeks ago. I meant to write something about it a few weeks ago and forgot. I just finished writing a post about parenting and dating and it reminded me to share my thoughts. This article written by John T Molloy is based on a book […]

Nunu’s Goodbye Party

Nunu is what my grandmother called Cydney and that is what Cydney called her. My grandmother used to say that Cydney reminded her of the cartoon Lil’ Lulu; but Cydney couldn’t pronounce that very well so she’d say Nunu. Yesterday morning I woke Cydney up and told her that today was going to be a […]

My Grandmother

Today it finally happened. My grandmother passed away this morning at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY. I’ve been pretty sleep deprived the last couple of weeks just dealing with things and trying to overall get things together. I’ve been disrespecting my alarm clock’s 4 AM ringing and woke up late today: 6:30 AM. My mother […]

Cydney’s First Visit With Her Grandparents

Yesterday I wrote about how Monday was my last time going to court about Cydney. What started off as me taking a DNA test to prove I’m Cydney’s father became custody hearings, which then turned to visitation, which then became me motioning for the visitation agreement to be amended. It had been two years and […]

Grieving (Far Away)

I kept busy yesterday. While working on some writing I had to do, Cydney woke up and I met her at the top of the steps. I met her at the top of the steps. She came out of her room with Blue Bear and her new soccer ball that we’ve been sleeping with since […]
