A week.

A tough week. Physically, I was hurting.
Mentally,  I was strained. I didn't show up at important events.

I just tried to be comfortable and finish projects .

I am exhausted and I have honored the exhaustion.

I completed an important project.
I am proud,  but my insect bite allergy flared up, badly.

I am grateful,  grateful that I finished my proposal and can rest.

Today

Today, we buried my mom's best friend and our "bonus grandmother " Nonnie.

So many folks came out for her. The homies and the privileged.

She impacted so many and left of legacy of love, wisdom, friendship and strength.

We were blessed to have her in our family.

Very blessed.

God speed , Ms. Estelle. .its good to know you are still mama's neighbor.

You can copy our hair, our butt, our boobs, our lips, our music and our style.

You can attempt to change the narrative about how we are envisioned.

Copy or appropriate.

What you can NEVER EVER do is appropriate #blackgirlmagic.

Saying good bye, to Nonnie

In 1973, we moved to Lasalle ave. Estelle Spencer was our neighbor.  She soon became family. Smart, savvy, and loving. Nonnie was no nonsense.  She was old school. She was the village. She watched out for your home, the neighborhood and your children.
She was my Mom's best friend and our "grandmother". My brothers and I were special to her and she to us.

Now, she has transitioned on to Glory. Ms. Estelle, the Williams family were glad, we became your neighbors,  thank you. Thank you for welcoming us into your heart and into your family. Thank you for your wisdom, love and belief in us. You had a huge impact and made a tremendous positive difference in my life, my brother's lives and many many other's in Hampton and NN.

Say Hi, to Bob and Ray C. for us.

We love and miss you. Rest in Peace.

Love Vickory

Circle of Life

This was a good weekend.  I started to plan again.  I wrote down my dreams.
I spent time with my sorors, bros, fellow Greeks and volunteered my time .
Then , I got a call that an elder was dying.

Estelle Spencer came into my life when I was 9. She was our neighbor and my mom's best friend.  She was there for my family and we were there for hers. She truly epitomized what a neighbor was.

She spoke her mind, was just nosey enough,  she was strong willed and regulated the neighborhood.

She was a nanny, crab picker and real estate owner. She was kind and loving. She welcomed all into her home , including your dog. Lol.

When, my mom died, a part of her died too. They watched over each other.
Yesterday,  her granddaughter Kim, said she was talking to her family,  who had passed on. She mentioned Bob, my mamma. She asked her to wait for her.

She is. Nonie as you begin your transition,  be at peace, you have left a legacy of love, service, strength, wisdom and unwavering friendship.

Love,

Your Vickory
