My grandmother, “Mama Doris” was born on May 22, 1919. Her youngest daughter, my Aunt Rosetta, was born on April 7, 1945.

This poem is dedicated to the memory of my maternal grandmother, whose youngest daughter, my Aunt Rosetta, was laid to rest yesterday by our family, on my grandma Doris’ birthday. Grandma Doris, whenever you left home, you would exit the door walking in your high heels shoes with your head held erect, a serious look [...]
