Happy Retirement Mommy!

Well, Anomalies, it's the last Friday of 2024.

Christmas was so much fun, probably the best one I've had in years. The icing on the cake is that my mom retired on Monday. She was at her job for twenty-five years and has pretty much worked since she was twelve years old. Even the years she wasn't employed, she raised me and my brothers which was a job in itself. As a singer and performer, she always had two jobs - a day job and gigs. I don't know how she did it but she held it down for so many years. She deserves to not only be acknowledged for her employment but as a mother who sacrificed so much so her children could thrive and have opportunities. I want my mom to finally put her feet up and know that as a mother, an American and a human being, she fulfilled her purpose. The curtain has closed for Act II and in Frankie Beverly's words, the Golden Times of Day in Act III have begun.

She is my human band-aid and hero.

Happy New Year! Cheers to 2025!
