Mama, I remember listening intently for the sound of your bangles and the creak of the front door to let me know that you were home. That sound was my nighttime lullaby; when you walked in I could finally doze off safely into the land of my dreams. Your presence is my everything. These days I adorn my own arms in bracelet jewels and shake my hands just so the bangles will dance, making the sweet music that reminds me of you.
29 years ago you transformed your body just so I could be; you worked tirelessly so I could have, and you modeled womanhood so that I could construct my own sense of who I am. Woman, your spirit jingles; brings smiles to my face every time I think of home - that familiar space in the softness of your lap, curled up just like the days before I got here.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY MOMMY and to ALL the woman and human beings who create! I LOVE YOU ALL!
