How often have you sailed in my dreams. And now you come in my awakening, which is my deeper dream. Kahlil Gibran
Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” hurled me from the airport cafe to our old living room, where Dad wrapped his arms around Mom’s waist. Dad and Bob’s voices intermingled as he and Mom rocked to the music. The memory almost brought me to my knees.

My mom would turn over in her grave if I showed up empty-handed. I can’t let my captain down.
🥹 his captainnn

“Dear Mr. and Mrs. Washington, I pray for your souls to rest in eternal peace. Those who are loved live on in the hearts of those who hold them dear. Though it feels like I’ve known him for a lifetime, I’ve only known your son for a short while, but it’s clear he loves you deeply. It’s said that true friendship is rare. Then, I shall count my blessings daily and cherish the friendship that I have with your son, who I imagine is a reflection of all of your light and love. May peace be upon you. A friend of your son, Sidney King.”
“Triplets? French shawty? Who am I? Brooklyn Baddie?” I chide as soon as the line goes dead.

“That’s your dick inside of you. Feel it?”

I told you I’d love you through it. This is me loving you,”
Even though that day on TV was the first time my eyes laid upon you, my soul recognized you. Its grace and wisdom led me straight to you.”
