Driving over the foggy Bay Bridge this morning I heard this mom on the radio talking about her "Mr. Fab" son who is becoming a very popular and successful hip hop artist and what I heard in her voice brought me to tears. The love and support she had given her son and still gives to her son was beautiful to hear. As a single mom she was determined to give her son a good life. Now here he is, a successful man who gives back to his community. I don't know if me crying about this in the car had to do with lack of sleep, the waking up out of a bad dream or just the plain simplicity of love that she spoke of, but it touched me and for that I am grateful.
andrea speaks of connections; her story also touched me....
