Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Psychology: the lower the level of the mother, the more like reasoning, delaying the child does not know
Gorky said, "All the glory and pride in the world comes from the mother." We constantly emphasize the importance of a mother to a child. The mother is the most indispensable role in a person's life. Besides the father, the mother is the founder of the child's character, habits, and achievements.

Baptized By Death
The call I’ve been expecting for more than a decade came on Saturday afternoon just after St. Patrick’s Day. Looking down at my phone buzzing on the bathroom vanity, I see ‘Aunt Theresa’ and our photo from twenty years ago displayed somehow more intensely on my screen and I know it is here. All awareness left my body as I stood in my apartment, staring blankly into the bathroom mirror as my aunt heralds the message that the time has come to say goodbye to my father. In the midst of the long-awaited news flooding my hazy awareness, I’m ashamed of myself; ashamed the news Daddy’s time has come to cross over Jordan is not enough to keep me from noticing how dirty the bathroom mirror is and I need to do better about cleaning it.

Meet Your New Stepfather
The grown woman stood in the hallway of the hospital. She had just called her boss and said she would not be back today, and she had called her husband to tell him what was going on, he was leaving work and coming straight to the hospital. She had called her kids to let the two oldest ones that were doing high school classes online know her and their daddy would be late so they would have to look after their younger brothers when they got off the school bus. Last she had called her little brother and told him to come as soon as he could. He was on his way with his girlfriend, with traffic this time of day no one would be here for hours. After all that she just needed to take a breath before she went back in the room, it was going to be a really long day.

The little black pug named Oreo
My family loves pug dogs. The breed has been in our family since my mother got her first pug when she was 17. His name, of course, was Pugsley. After the character on the Addam's Family. Over the years we have had pugs in our house. Starting with Butch when I was 5. Then there was Daisy, Barnabas, Josette, Mulligan, Willamina, and Olivia. My daughter, Amira has been around them since she was a baby, like me. Our first pug, Pugsley lived till he was 15 years old. By the time Pugsley passed we had Butch. The breed has been in our family so much that at one point we had Pugsley, who became my grandmother's dog, Butch, and My Aunt's Pug Augustus a.k.a Gus. Our love for pugs has now passed down to my children. Since she could talk my daughter has wanted a pug. She would say to me, "Sometimes I start absentmindingly stroke the side of the bed. Like there is a pug there." Yes, she said pug and not just a dog there. We lived in an apartment since she was 2 years old. I remember the days of having Butch in an apartment, and I didn't want that for our dog. My mother had a sizeable yard so naturally she had her pugs still. When my daughter turned 10 years old, we got a house. After a while we were able to afford to get a dog. She had been begging me for a pug for years. Now was the perfect time to get one. A few months before Christmas I began to scroll through sites that were selling pugs. I was financially ready for a dog too. A long time ago we bought our first black pug, Barnabas. He was a beautiful pug. My mom bought him with her tax return that year. Just in time for Mother's Day.

I Finally Understand Why Other People Were Staring
When my kids were little, I proudly paraded them through Target, the grocery store, and the mall, always conscious of how some people would stare at us. I remember strangers leaning over to get a closer look at one of my adorable offspring, expressing their delight over how cute they were.

Father Value
Family structures can be connected to the idea of a family tree. The structure is based upon who had breed together to create the family that exists as a whole and tends to continue to grow. Family structures can also be defined by the roles or power each individual has in the lineage. Normally the Grandmother and her husband hold the highest power that gets passed down to their children, eldest to youngest, and they pass it down to their children. I’ve learned hierarchy proves nothing other than age being increased, in my opinion of the black families. Much like other populations, we tend to suffer from single-parent households and poverty. I plan to discuss the findings of Patricia Thomas of Duke University on the effects of father presence in black homes.

The Growing Space Between Us. Top Story - August 2022.
The event I had anticipated all summer arrived — college freshman move-in day. The car was so tightly packed that it took three of us pushing and tugging to get the pillow into the last potential space between the two duffle bags. With the final item secured, our family high-fived as we closed the trunk, proud of fitting all the essential dorm items into one car.
