I got some tragic news Friday night. My dear friend Alisha informed me that her god mother Cindy was killed in her home. It was brutal. A possible home invasion gone wrong. They have the two men in custody. It made me go way back. My memories of Cindy are a mixed bag. What I remember was her crazy no nonsense sense of humor. She had a mouth like a truck driver too. She used to shock me all the time. She loved scary movies. Went and saw Hellraiser at the coliseum drive in with her and she drove Charlene and I crazy with Salt n Peppa's "Push it". Over and over she played that song, while watching the movie. I'm surprised we didn't get kicked out! She loved younger men, much to the chagrin of her kids. Her boyfriends often came first too. But, she had a big heart and was a very loyal friend. No one deserves to go the way that she did. But, life is not fair. She was loved and will be missed. RIP Cindy.

I really like that you video blog. That is so sad to hear about Alisha's God Mother and I'm sorry she had to go out the way she did.
ReplyDeleteYou touched on something that I have been trying to do lately and it's actually working. I think it was from some of the stuff you were reading from. And it was about positive thinking and what we take from every situation and put out there in every situation. I am really trying to be conscious of my thoughts about others and about myself. It has really helped me to be a better person as well as keep me feeling happy and positive about people and the world. Anyway, keep blogging girl! I look forward to seeing you when I get back! Happy early Berf-day!!! Mmmmwah! - Lori
Tragic loss to say the least. My prayers and grief filled love are with Alisha and Charlene. No one deserves to leave that way.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. This has been a really interesting process for me. The blogging. But, I continue....Loss is already difficult. The violence that is purpetrated on our fellow humans in atrocious! Honestly there are times when its hard to stay positive. To really believe in the goodness of humanity. This is one of those times for me. Yet, I still persevere.
