These Roots Run Deep

My great-great Aunt Wilda passed away a couple of weeks ago. She was my great grandmother's sister. She was a hoot. In memory of this wonderful woman, her daughter's child sang a lovely rendition of Amazing Grace accompanied by the Native American flute. The video is below.

Amazing Grace


Did I mention that the child is a dog named Tasha? Yes, they referred to the dog as Aunt Wilda's grandchild. So glad that these family roots run real deep.

Completing a Life Goal: Check

Every summer from the time I was 14-17 years old I attended Especially For Youth at different college campuses along the northern east coast. I learned some important lessons, made some great friends, and thought my counselors were the coolest people ever and I wanted to be them.
And now I get to be one.
