I see you understand this parent thing 100%

She's such a class act in a world where people often only think about themselves.

Typically, I don't. But if I do, I don't expect it back. Don't want it to negatively impact the friendship. I did experience a friendship where we helped each other out whenever we could if there was a need. It went both ways. It seemed to be unique to a very close and long-standing friendship.

The sun hitting it just right

Looking back on my thirties I wish I would've poured more into every relationship (platonic) as that's what I'm finding most important to me now. People will come and go but those people that are present when things are both good AND bad are the ones that deserve your time and energy.

That's a whole different kind of struggle

Married couple 3 years ago when we used to get out the house. We'll make 25 years this January.

You had to be there. It didn't age well but for some of us, seeing a black rockstar on screen meant more than we understood at that time.

Beautiful yet terrifying

We'll be a 3rd world country in 3 years or invaded by another country before his term is up. SMH

I'm not really into musicals but Wicked was entertaining. 👍🏾

Bella looks very much like my daughter's cat, Cletus

They have more money than most people can spend in a lifetime, yet it's never enough. It will never be enough.

Finally! SOMEBODY sees what's going on!

Exactly, their planning for THEIR future
