Evan: She always tells you what she thinks no matter what. She values experiences over material things. She’s the best cook I know....

Zach: There is so many things I love about my mom it’s very hard to narrow it to 3. It’s also very hard to describe her since she is “interesting” to say the least. My first thing I love is how chill and laid back she is. Yes we fight more than anyone else and she gets my ass but the other 99% she is very enjoyable person to be around. I can talk to her as a friend and...

I never thought a girls lunch at Red Lobster would change my life forever, but it did! That day in February 1997, I met my bestie! It was your warmth, your laugh and your ease that made me say “I want to hang out with her”. We planned our first outing — to meet at Skyline gym to workout. What the hell? Why? Who were those girls? I don’t know who they were, but I guess it worked for that...

My favorite birthday of all time was my first birthday.  Not because of the party, the balloons or the cake – but because it’s the day that you were born.  December 14th.  While we technically share that date as a birthday, it is the date that I celebrate you because I feel so fortunate that you were born and able to come into my life.  While historically time is tracked as either “B.C.” or “A.D”, I can measure my life...

My Sister/Friend is about to turn the Big 5 – 0!  Whoot! Whoot!  Since the day I met you on August 20, 1988, you have been an intricate part of my life!  You are not a friend, you are a part of my family and I thank God for bringing us together!  Words cannot express how much you mean to me!  You were literally my saving grace on that day in August on the campus of Tuskegee University and I...

August 1988….  The actual date I cannot recall- 32 years ago! I was scared.  Alone for the first time in my 18 years. My room number was actually 18.  Due to a mix up, I was not placed in the same room/dorm as my high school friend. I was READY TO GO!  After trying to catch up with my high school friend with no success the first couple of days, I figured that I would just stay in my room...
