When I read things like this , I often think of my loved ones whom have passed as well. My Aunt April in particular! She was an amazing women . Full of surprises and for this I am sure that i have given April the right name. I recently returned from a trip in Louisiana where I learned a lot about connecting with my ancestors and having them be part of guiding me in this world we live in now and I’m sure they will be shocked. I would tell my Aunt about how the world has changed in most ways being either you’re with it or you aren’t and if you are or aren’t there is still many opinions on how you choose to live that life and I’m sure my Aunt in that moment would be shocked as she states that “opinions are just that .. an opinion.” That’s how I live my life thanks to her and it has gotten me really far . I would tell her how the family has grown over the years and she has to meet those nieces and nephews that would tickle her with their ways and I’m sure they’ll have questions as well. I would tell her that our economy is almost nonexistent and we’re really just out here winging it to survive. I would also share my wins with her … God how I wish I could share these wins with her. …

Angel! This is a wonderful share! I certainly love getting some background behind your daughter April's name! Survival certainly becomes a theme so often(though not the only theme), and oh...this economy. In many ways, we do get to share these wins with our angels! This life is a telling of our stories in action. Thank you so much!
