Happy 2016

Hello,


   I know its been MONTHS since my last post but I wanted to make sure I finished up all pressing things and now I have all the time in the world to bet back into my creative pursuits! THANK GOODNESS!!!!


So I posted a little blurb I wrote about my grandfather today and I'm posting this now just to say if you have been sticking around for this slow period, THANK YOU! I promise to be more diligent about posting this year. There is so much to be excited about and grateful for and I know 2016 will be a good year.


I'm not going to bother with the new year new me thing, and as it is February it would be seriously late to make such a claim. I only strive to live this year the best I can. I hope you are doing the same.




To a great 2016! :)

My Grandfather

Well, what can I say about my grandfather in particular? He was a mostly quiet man. He was simple and enjoyed sitting out on his front porch watching us grandkids playing in the front yard. My relationship with him was distant at best, I never really new the old man with tired eyes and sunbaked brown skin. The little I knew of him was that he lost his wife to a blood clot, raised most of his children by himself on a 6^th grade education and a sugar factory worker salary. I knew that my mother had a very estranged relationship with him and I think that added to the distance between him and myself. I just new this sad, almost grumpy-looking man, who didn’t say much and kept to himself.
