Good Friday to Everyone . April 18,2014, Inspired by my mama..
Good Friday to everyone, for many of us this is one of the most solemn days in our religion, and it was during my life time when my mama was alive. She was a sweetheart and the coolest mom ever, She spoiled me, she protected me and she taught me to always be good. Yes, even when people mistreated me or what. She always said turn your cheek. I loved her for that . But I also grew up under a strict old school navy retired sailor that shaped my ego side. But this about my mama.. On Good Fridays until her untimely death , meant of course going to church , praying and honoring Jesus Christ and just being around her.. She would bake and cook all the goodies I loved.. Since it was a solemn day , we ate no meat and we didn't express too much laughter or what, it was just a cool quiet Friday.. We would just spend time together and , even though I didn't think it would end.. But as we all know ,. life is always changing.. Soon enough I graduated college and joined the navy.. and and she was gone at my first overseas duty.. It was the most shocking and devastating thing to ever happen in my life. I mean its mama.. I just spend 30 great days with her before traveling to japan.. If anything it brought me closer to my wife who years earlier lost her mother to heart disease. Now we both were suffering , but in our pain and misery at the time , we got closer and bonded like no other couple,, Its strange how adversity in our lives made us get closer.. especially having our second child in japan.. That was a wonderful experience and I miss my kids being kids,. Now they are teenagers , doing their own thing and being with friends. But I know I taught them well and showed them that hard work, discipline and being good will get you far in life. I owe all my success and persona to my dearly departed mama, who taught me to respect people and honor your parents and always do your best and above all help your fellow man or neighbors in need. I still hold that true and it has given me many good memories with all the neighbors I lived with in Washington state , overseas japan,, San Diego and now the Temecula valley areas.. I miss you mama and I will keep your legacy alive by being what you were a wonderful human being with a great heart and spirit. Today is good Friday and I recall those wonderful days I spent with my mama.. May all of you have a great day and take care until my next blog...
