Yesterday’s Journey Helps Today Pass

Sons and daughters, nephews, nieces… Grand kids.. Cousins. The Roles and titles.. Are Dozens and so are THE impressions. The days are filled with moments where we bury the true importance of life in accordance to the day’s objectives. As time passes so do the opportunities to reach out and show appreciation for being the larger shadow of two. If you encounter the life of a child at any stage even if it were for a moment, a brush or a mere second in passing. Share a smile… That shows the child that the world, although a COMPLETE STRANGER, can provide a brief moment of joy.

If you are blessed with the opportunity of being around a child for a larger period, share a story of your childhood or the difficulties of your day IN COMPARISON to the child’s difficulties, do so in a manner that you can provide the child a glimpse of how GREAT their LIFE currently is. Do so and magically be healed when feeling how you share your tale, you bring a smile to a child’s face WHO although is a stranger to your challenges, can provide a brief moment of joy.

I recently was told by my dad that ME as a kid (under age 3)… My favorite part in the WORLD, wasn’t a park or a pool… Or a field, it was my late great aunt’s (my Grandmother’s TIA) home, which was an abandoned and condemned house in the South Bronx (which she refused to move out of). I don’t remember but my dad did, in this case I was the child and my father the person whom shared a story of my pass AND with that he healed me from some worries.

Today as I look at how difficult my life is and worry my head with where and hows.. When I conclude that perhaps I can’t: make the purchase YET, or fill the tank up YET, Send me your BEST bottle of Château whatnot YET, get these in a size 9 YET.. OR even bless my little GUY with the red one and the blue one BUT JUST ONE…

I can look back (thanks to my dad) and can say that I can thank my aunt for SETTING IN ME a very humble soul and that’s the SOUL that enables me to cope with the challenges that today brought!

Luv u Dad
