I fell in love with James.
Three yrs ago when I turned around;
and seen that smile.
Since then, I have felt and went thru alot.
judgments, labels, and rumors thrown on us.
based upon our racial differences.
but regardless...
He is who I love, and the color of his skin..
is just as beautiful as who he is.
He has kept me laughing.
and smiling...
so much that my jaws hurt.
no lie. lol
He has a bright personality.
and his style is sexy.
When I'm down;
he brings me back up.
Somehow, Someway..
he has always been determined to see me smile.
Even if it means running around the house.
with his arms open;
yelling " I LOVE YOU EMILY ".
however, we do argue and I hate it;
but by the end of the day...
we are back to laughing.
He has a wonderful family.
they all are so nice.
but of course his pawpaw is my fav.
along, with lil keana.
It took 2 yrs before my daddy accepted him.
and now, my daddy is glad I am with him.
that means more than anything to me.
My family love him,
but sometimes I believe...
that my mama loves him more than I do?
4real lol
He is in college at NC A&T.
his sophmore yr.
making something out of himself.
and at the same time, loving me.
I believe I am lucky.
what girl my age is blessed..
with someone who stands by u..
faithful.
honest.
trustworthy.
but most of all..
loves you?...
I have felt beauty, hope, joy.
but most of all;
he has showed me the true meaning of love.
its such a beautiful thing,
it doesn't come easy.
you have to work for it.
and we did for 2 years.
I am thankful that I turned around..
three yrs ago;
and seen his smile.
that was the day, my life changed...
for the best ♥
I know he is the one I will wake up to..
in the future.
MY PAWPAW♥
My pawpaw died on October 10, 2006 at 1:20 am. He was surrounded by all of his family for 15 hours. He tried to fight death to stay with us but it was his time to go... Even though I will miss him I know he is by God's side smiling and laughing like he always did except this time he feels no pain.
My pawpaw suffered from 3 different types of lung diseases, not to mention he had crypiling arthritis. Regardless of the day to day pain he felt, he laughed non stop. When you left 'pawpaws' house you left with a smile on ur face or sometime of memory he told you about. Wether it was about Grey Boy, the barn, or his days in the navy... he made sure you felt welcomed at his house.
I remember while he was getting sick, visiting him every morning eating Mcdonalds gravy with him, brushing his hair, watching my daddy shave him, and then staying there with him for the day while my mawmaw went out.. he still managed to smile about something. I'll miss walking through the kitchen to his room seeing him lying in his bed and see him throw his hand up at you and say "HEY".. or the sound of him slapping his leg as he laughed. But most of all, I will miss the sweet sound of his laugh. It was who he was..
My pawpaw wasn't the typical man and in fact I highly doubt I'll ever meet someone like him... He knew what life was really about. It wasnt about material things, it was about family and giving to people. The love he had for all of us and his grandchildren was amazing... He was a wonderful man and for that he is my hero ♥
I LOVE YOU PAWPAW & WE ALL MISS YOU.
YOU ARE A PRECIOUS MEMORY TO ALL OF US.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER & I KNOW YOU'LL GREET ME WITH A SMILE LIKE YOU ALWAYS DID.
forever, your little stinkpot.
