May You Suffer Just The Same...

The Freedom of A Willow Tree
don’t cry for thee
will always weep for me.
- Create, notarize, and file our final will,
- Open a savings account at a black owned bank and deposit funds for our funerals, and
- If we are organ donors, we would designate how our organs are to be used to help other family members in need rather than just left for general distribution by the funeral homes / hospitals.
By doing these things in advance, many of the hard decisions that plague our surviving family members are removed. Families often bicker over last minute details and a funeral is the wrong place to birth new hostilities. So, by thinking of others even as you think of yourself, you may quail the tensions of family division long before they become an issue.

How Do You Sleep At Night?
I have closed the door to rehashing memories from this past event. I know that those moments (for me) were honest and true. I know I was sincere and offered my love wholly. I don't devalue anything I have experienced, but I refuse to retread the passageways that bear no fruit. To do so would only mar the genuine love that once was with a mockery of lustful intent trying to recapture a moment that has already been extinguished. What was is over and now it is what it is. If we had some prior agreement, a mutual understanding, or even an amiable ambition, then I could allow myself to be remiss or anticipate our reunion, but (in this instance) we had placed a period at the end of our entanglement and I was being kind by extending cordial greetings. To consider "missing" what turned out to be an undesirable coupling would be a disservice to myself and the lessons taught by this same experience. To quote George Bush, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Well, you just can't do that again!"
