All I can say is that 2day is my Mom’s B-Day… She passed away in 1992… Hard to believe in 2 more years…, she will have been gone 20 years… I guess the reason it doesn’t seem that long is that she is 4ever present as I carry her around with me in my heart… It was made much clearer 2 me when I took my trip down 2 North Carolina & saw all of those folks who would’ve been her peers… The folks she knew & grew up with…
LQQKIN’ in the faces of my family & seeing the trademarks, the signature items, the area, & the people, that made up the Jones Clan brings all those memories rushing right back up to the surface… That’s why you have to check in with family from time-to-time just so you can connect the D.O.T.S. & Keep Life Moving!!!
I was always told that since she passed away; the weeks leading up to, during, & sometimes after my Mom’s B-Day I would go into a semi-depression if you will… Funny thing??? I was never conscious or cozignant of it… (Maybe that’s why I tend 2 travel 2 Vegas in September huh???) Shhhhh!!! The folks around me would notice my melancholy demeanor & silently nod 2 themselves as they knew why…
WOW!!! That’s amazing to me…, because “I” Mr. Don’t Miss Ish…, DEFINITELY MISSED THAT!!!
I am Xtremely proud 2 tell you that this year…, this day literally rolled up on me & I didn’t even miss a beat… It was just another Spectacular Day in the Spectacular Life Of Al MFing Jones Sr.!!!
So maybe I’m finally turning the corner & closing the door on a Tuff Chapter on my life… Of course I will NEVER 4get my Mom…, she is a HUGE part of why I am who I am… But now this day can come allowing me 2 say a prayer, pour a lil’ bit out, & KEEP IT MOVING!!!
