You and Me ~ 1975

by The O'Jays

Ever been in love & tried to convince yourself it was over, knowing in your heart & soul it wasn't? If so, this one is for you.

Are You My Sister? Siblings Unknown....

I'm the eldest of my mother's 3 daughters.  We all have different fathers and the younger two were born out of wedlock.  {When we were younger, I was very hateful at times (hush) and would tease my middle sister about her illegitimate status.}

My mother once told me that my daddy suspected he had an older daughter from a relationship prior to marrying my mother.  If I remember correctly, my daddy was never able to confirm or deny fathering this child before he died.  I was too young to really care when my mother 1st told me about it. 

Every now & then I can't help but wonder if I have an older sister out there somewhere. 

All my life I thought my last name was very usual & relatives would be easy to find.  Not so, but thanks to the world wide web, I've learned my surname is not so unusual at all.

I've posted a few messages on a few family websites with the hopes "my sister", her mother or even some other relative would see our father's name & reach out.  Wishful thinking, huh?

When my son was little & my credit was jacked, I was the lay-a-away queen.

Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now!! (My Victory Song)

My friends have posted several videos/songs that reflect their mood after yesterday's victory. Why should I be any different? Like Frankie B (not my daddy..the other one...lol) sang, "We Are One!"

PS I am soooooooooo proud of each & every one of you who stood up & made your mark on this historical event!

Did you?? Casting my ballot took me all of 15 whole minutes!

It's an absolutely gorgeous day in St. Louis!!! No excuses, no exceptions!

Although, I have an advantage (I can see my polling place from my bedroom window), come hell or high water, I was going to the polls.

All I had was my voter registration card (actually had two - the original and the replacement they automatically issued after the last botched elections) & my driver's license. Miss Daisy & Mr. Rufus (don't play, ya'll know you gotta be Medicare eligible to work the polls...) didn't give me any trouble at all about 2 pieces of ID & such.
