Just like old days...way way back in the day

Just like old days...way way back in the day
Posted By: Monique J. Morton on May 22, 2005


Yesterday, i went to go visit my mother and my 2 brothers. It has been awhile since i seen my oldest brother malachi. he had been...gone since i was a little girl, so when i saw him it was like a family reunion. i also got to see my baby niece. oh she is getting so big. she's one of those "special babies" that was born on 9/11 last year.

just being there with my immediate family made me realize how i wanted my own. and when i get my own family, i wont let it break away like mine did.



here i am, 21 years old and im just now meeting my oldest brother since i was 6. yall could only imagine how good i felt.

and then today, im going out with my relatives for a movie and dinner. i havent done this in awhile. i been at school for like 2 straight years and havent been able to come home. and with me leaving to go to my internship in a week, i guess all i did need was some family quality time. now if only i can get some quality time with my man...(i mean a lot of time w/o interruptions) then life would be perfect. Hope all yall having a good day like me.
