I went to bed too early, last night, and as usually happens, woke from a sound sleep about 2 AM. Of course, I couldn’t get back to sleep. Even with the radio on as “white noise.” I began to think about all of the roles I have, living with family and in my community. It has turned out to be a long list.
First, and foremost, I am a child of God. Have been for as long as I can remember, and hope to be, forever.
I was a wife, now a widow (dear Lord, how I HATE that word). I am a mother and grandmama, a mother-in-law, a sister (we are only two of the six children born to our mother that are still living), a sister-in-law, an aunt and great aunt to family members I don’t even know.
