We are not responsible for the wrongs of a father. Accepting the responsibility in deciding forgiveness over disdain and the freedom that may bring, is entirely up to us.

Our being is a temple but the price of faith can be a double edged sword.

Many of us have so much love to give but when we find ourselves picking up pieces of a relationship in the hopes of creating an “us,” disappointment becomes an unfortunate constant.

A picture is worth a thousand words and a picture of black boys gone too soon… is worth a lifetime of reflection on a disheartening reality.
