Michelle Obama’s mama passed….

What’s a grandma to do?

I was watching MSNBC , day 2 of 45 and 34 and the moral arc of the universe shifting and passing and the seasons moving so dramatically that I was overcome with hope.

And then Nicole took a breath after an extraordinary conversations with principles and paused and sad she was sad to report that she was dead.

Without warning I wept as she showed pictures of her and her presence in the white house but mentioned her anchoring to a president her granddaughters and foremost to her daughter.

A release of sorts when the tears would flow freely yet knowing all is well and baton has passed … well done faithful servant. Yet how indeed will we go on..

All of us do our best with the time given and then we go on. Seeds planted. Dreams and Visions beyond all imagination. The Rev Sharpton winced and said that in her presence. … all was well as she knew what she was there to do …

I checked around to confirm. I knew she was gone and yet here … I missed my mom and yet I knew she was here.

It is their turn now. The kids are all right. They stand close by

Whispering in our ears. Ever so gently. We are watching. Do justice. .. have mercy. Watch out for those who need you… love always wins….

We prayed as they prayed for us. .. we are blessed and highly favored. We pass it along and forward.

Thank you Marian … Thank you mom.. thank you grandmothers. peace be still !
