My Pilgrimage to Alabama and back...

I stayed up the whole night before my early morning flight to ATL, then we rented a car and drove to Alabama (4.5 hour drive).

Highlights from my pilgrimage:

  • During my drive I got a marriage proposal at a gas station from a brotha in need of a dental plan. That was different... I had to say NO! He was not quite my type, but I do love a SouthernGentleMan... teeth are a requirement (lol).
  • Reconnected with my cousin over a Sonic Milkshake and french fries.
  • As always, enjoyed my slumber party with my Grandma/shero, and our drives are always fun!
  • Fell in love with my little cousin QJ. He and I spent two days together. It was hard for me to say good-bye. I hope his mother gets it together and give him and his little sister what they deserve... love and stability.
  • Danced, laughed, and cried as I remembered my Auntie... RIP Auntie P
  • Creating more memories with my family across five generations!
It was a bittersweet trip to Alabama, and I always come home more grounded in the legacy of strength from my Grandmother and other family members.

So Blessed,
WonderWoman
