After everything with my aunt, I ended up speaking my little sister the following morning. It was the first time we had talked since Mom’s diagnosis. It was an emotional conversation where we both admitted we didn’t want to watch our mother die.

LG had talked to other family members who provided some comfort by advising her that it wasn’t as serious as that particular aunt made it seem. While we were talking, I found out my mom had lost 50 pounds from her inability to eat.

We both are a bit frustrated by family and their opinions. Certain people … *Read the rest

The third weekend in January. I don’t know what it is about that weekend. I lost my virginity that weekend back in 1995. I remember the date easily because it was also my mom’s wedding anniversary.

Those three break ups were major break ups. Not … *Read the rest

And I am not a singer, but for some reason after I wrote my version of  Southern Stuff by Anthony Hamilton, I felt tempted to make a video of me performing. I didn’t…And I don’t know if it was because it was really late when I finished and I was already in my bed clothes or if I didn’t want to embarrass myself.

I laid down to go to sleep when my phone rang. I thought it might be Sugar, but it wasn’t her ringtone. It was an 803 area code. That’s home. My heart started to beat fast. Hate getting calls from home late a night because its never good news.

My cousin tells me to call his Mom because she has news about my Mom. I call my aunt and she suggests I come home. She said that she wanted to talk to me because she thinks my mom is downplaying her condition. The mass is the size of a baseball. … *Read the rest
