All I want for Christmas was happiness.

I have not blogged in a little while because Kimskakery is keeping me busy. I am so blessed and happy that the thing that I love that I am able to pass it along to someone else and they are able to enjoy my gift. I am baking up a storm and building up my business from the ground up. I have never worked so hard in my life but I have never been this happy either. So my last blog was about him coming home for Thanksgiving and how it made me feel.
So when he came home for Thanksgiving he was  high and was still up to the same games . He was home to stay and that things were going to be better this time. So we put the Christmas decorations and tried to  move on with holiday season.  I am not a fan of Christmas since my father passed away on December 23 and that has always brought on so many emotions.  He was going to school and cutting classed and we had pick him up from school be he was so high at school that he smelled of weed. I was so embarrassed and ashamed that my kid was turning into that "kid". I had decided not to buy him anything for Christmas one because it had gotten to the point that I never knew if he was coming home. Well right before school got out for the holidays he didn't come home from school again and I called the police made the report and we moved on with our lives.

It had become so common place that he was not home that we just moved on with life.  I was so depressed and felt so lost that I knew my daughter  was being effected because I was not being the mother that she deserved.  When he came home in November we had found a program called Tarheel challenge and it was like a military school that he could go to and get his GED and it would get him out of Charlotte.  I had made up in my mind that I didn't want him in my house anymore that I was tired of him coming and going as he pleased. And that is when I was told that I could be prosecuted for child abandonment. And I didn't care my Lupus was in full effect from the the stress and my blood pressure was at stroke level again. So in December he was gone for over a week and when the police brought him home this time she told the person that he was runaway and she gave me the address to where he was but made me promise not to go there alone. I wanted to meet the person who was giving my child somewhere to leave and never reached out to his parent.

Christmas was extremely difficult for me my son was home but he had become someone that I didn't know anymore. He was very disrespectful not only to me but to my Mother and his Sister. I was just trying to hold on to the fact that he was going to Tarheel Challenge in January. I had done all the paperwork had gone through all the steps to get him ready and he was saying he was ready to go he was ready for a fresh start but in my mind I knew it was game. He was telling people what they wanted to here. He had become very good at that and people wanted to believe him and believe in him.

I still was feeling very depressed and stressed and just very unsettled in my spirit. I had stop talking to him because of all the lies and the stealing. He had stolen out of my wallet so much that we all had to hide our money. How did my son who was loved by so many and raised in church how did he became and some who would steal out of my wallet and look me in my face and promise that he didn't do. I know I am his Mother but damn I am a person who felt violated in my own home. When tears came all I could think was I can't not live another year like this 2016 had to be different.

Just tell the truth damn it.

My son has been officially missing for over 30 days. And let's tell the truth he is 17 and a young black man no one is looking for him. The odds have been stacked against him since birth born to a single Mother with a absent Father. However he is still my son and he means the world to me. He is living with people I don't know know and places that I have no idea about. Where do these people come from that don't say let's call your Mother and let her know that you are safe. People in Charlotte are getting killed everyday and I live with that fear daily. But in the era of Facebook lies and Snap chat 24 hour cycle and Instagram celebrity nothing is real. I have to pray and love him and brace myself for what comes next. I have to love him enough to let him at 17 make these choices and pray that God will give him the Grace and time to fix the error of his ways. He not only needs to mend the relationship with me but with my Mother and his Sister who have both been hurt. No...

Being transparent in this season of my storm.

On the journey of doing this blog it has given me a sense of freedom about my life and my truth is just that. I have lived thru many things in the last 365 days that I had no idea I could live thru. My health has gone from where I didn't feel like trash everyday to now some days getting out of the bed takes a pain pill and an hour just to make it. But because I have kids and I am taking care of my Mother I have no choice but to make it happen. This was not supposed to be my life. I love being a Mother and it is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. But this year my son has pushed me to the limits to wonder why I gave up my life to be his Mother. I am sure that being my son is not a piece of cake and that I can be the bitch from hell. But I have never done anything but make sure that he was always taken care of and provided for even if it was to my own detriment. If my kids had or have a need my life and health go on the back burner. Afte...

My Sunshine has come.

I have not blogged in a few weeks and so much has happened. I started not to blog about it but I promised myself that I would blog about the good the bad and the ugly. I know that this helps me process my feelings and it helps some Mother or Father not feel alone. My son came home on July 30th. It was my Mother's BIRTHDAY and I know that he made her day. She was able to see him and  talk to him and that was what she had been her prayer for months. Jordan was happy to see her brother and my house felt like old times, I was in the kitchen cooking my Cubs were laughing and listening to music.and having a good time with each other. I felt for the first time in months that I could breathe. Zachary came to me and asked if he could come home. I was taken aback when he asked and of course I said yes. I had always told him that this would always be his home and that he would always be able to come back. But of course coming home came with rules and expectations. I knew that once he came...
