Raised alone...but my Sister was down the road!
o I was raised in Montclair, New Jersey with my Mom. Although my parents were divorced I had and have a good relationship with my Father, even better after a heart to heart when I was 21 years old. When I was young, I was visiting my Nana and Pop (my paternal grandparents) as I often would do. My Nana and I were talking and organizing, she was s a seamstress. I am unsure how the topic came up, but I vividly remember her saying, "You have an older sister." Now here is where my youthful imagination takes hold and I concoct a story in my mind that she lives in Michigan...Now my Nana could have mentioned Michigan in reference to something else, but from that day forward the story I told myself was, "You have a sister and she lives in Michigan."

Goodnight Ms. Cute...
It had been a manic Monday, a trashy Tuesday, a weird Wednesday, and a terrible Thursday. When Friday came, I decided to make sure to turn the tide. I convinced my Sista-friends to come with me to a Jazz happy hour at a local establishment. This Friday evening turned out to be the perfect way to end the week. The music was amazing, as were the drink specials and food. During a laughing fit, I realized I should use the ladies' room, so I excused myself and sauntered over to the restroom.
