My Grandmother Lula ❤ Day 2021 □
Happy love day to Ms. Lula! Life just isn't the same without my grandmother. I sometimes wonder if she was still here, what topics would she speak on? You know she read the Sunday paper every week. What would I hear coming out of her pouty mouth lol, because Ms. Lula was a real G (gangster)? Just kidding, my Lula was part angel and half gangster! 😂
I do know my granny Lula would have way too much to say about our young folks carjacking. I already know questions regarding the parents would play a huge part in the conversation. Usually, the presence or absence of a male figure is imperative during the adolescence of young men trying to find themselves and their manhood. The landmark trials affecting melanated communities, like Arbery, George Floyd and Botham Jean would have Ms. Lula ready to weigh in on all of the evidence! Joe Biden and Trump would not be off the hook with Ms. Lula. They would also get some of her talk time.
My cousins and I grew up saying the number one family phrase, "Are you going over granny Lula house for the holiday, this weekend, or to eat dinner?" Or we always would reminisce about those crazy fun times we created at her house by saying, "Remember that time at granny Lula house when this or that happen?" This is still prevalent and a very popular phrase we continue to use coupled by the best memories. Remember that memories are all you have as I often state in my birthday prayers. Make them count. If you don't, you're going to wish you did after they are gone!
Today on December 16, Ms. Lula would have turned 99 years young. Her DNA is boldly stitched in all of her bloodline. She has a rich long legacy. I'm honored to play a role in it. It's amazingly awesome how one woman can give birth to many generations. Think about it! Grandmothers are so powerful. You never know how their bloodline will multiply over into bigger and ground-breaking territories. We are so thankful to have had one of the funniest, and toughest ladies graced to be our grandmother. We are extremely blessed to have shared time and space with her. Through thick and thin, ups and downs, and good times plus bad times, my granny Lula absolutely showed us that family comes first, and family is very important. Thanks Yahweh! Ms. Lula is our history, our love and our unity!
