I will read this many times. It’s universal and yet fantastically specific! Nothing else matters while I’m experiencing feelings as brimming over as this.
I'm crying 🥹 because I'm chopping onions 🧅 for the Eggplant Parmesan 🍆 I'm making for dinner tonight. Not because of this beautiful piece by @Bethany Nicole. Nope. 😭
Bethany I love your narration! Your story has me thinking about my 88 y/o grandmother. To me, she is Bigma. The only grandmother that I know. She takes care of all of her kids and grandkids as best as she could. I smile at the memories of hopping from bus to bus and the train all across St. Louis. She wanted to go everywhere and even though I was tired, I didn't tire of of our days together. In the last few years she shared her story with me. Born in Memphis and raising her family from Little Rock to St. Louis. I laughed when she told me that she shot at my grandfather for messing with a bitch named Peaches 😭. This woman is the glue and I'm grateful for everything she's done for me.
Right! She's a sweet as her sweet potato pie but this woman, and my father's mother, really about that life. Then here comes me with my weapns charge! 😭😭😂😂
This is so tender, so wholesome.
It an honor to be seen by you my friend.
This is beautiful. Thank you for inviting us to spend time with your Mother Grand. Lovely, lovely, lovely❤️
It’s an honor to share her with yall. She’s really the sweetest funniest lady.

Why do these cute lil grannies always have a story about shooting at somebody ?!? Lmao. She sounds like a trip.
