What I Learned Sunday…wow…Lucky

It has been well over a year since I had something to write about that I learned. Have I had learning lessons…yes, but there came a time to walk away from the monotony and detritus of what was going on at that time.

Enter 2013…Chicago…

Late one night, while on location for work in Chicago, several days of violence erupted and the results were murders retaliation and a 3 year old child being shot in the head. The events themselves were disappointing, and the threat of violence frightening to many. But, one sits in a situation wondering what they can do, especially after learning that the young child would survive the violence he as a child should not have had to face.

Our response, we as an organization were able to promote and support the Chicago area children with a campaign called, “Let the Children Play,” with a focus on just that. Giving children an outlet to simply be…children. During that process, I was lucky enough to meet the child and his family. I also got to speak with them about their concerns, gratitude, and the fear that was instilled in their children’s lives, and the Chicagoland children. The experience was heart wrenching to state the least.

Father’s Day:
Each day that we have to celebrate our Father’s (parents) is a fortunate day. My Father turned 78 last Wednesday, and had the opportunity to have his 38th Father’s Day shared with his youngest son, a Father, and his only Grandchild.

Great day!!!

“All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this moment to make you my family”

I saw a picture today that instantly made me thing of this song, and I can’t let this song go today. So I may as well share.

Hustle, bustle and so much muscle awww
Cells about to separate
And I find it hard to concentrate and

Temporary this cash and carry
I’m stepping up to indicate
The time has come to deviate and

All I want is for you to be happy and
Take this moment to make you my family and
Finally you have found something perfect and
Finally you have found

Death defying this mess I’m buying
It’s raining down with love and hate
And I find it hard to motivate and

Estuary is blessed but scary your
Heart’s about to palpitate
And I’m not about to hesitate and

When I have questions, or need to figure out balance, I look to them and think on how to be there for them.
