Mother We See

There was a time when life seem so much easier, things seem to be so much brighter, and that big blue sky seem to be so much higher, and so much more to its shade of blue, even the clouds they were as puffy as clouds could ever get. We were kids back then and our mother she was giving  the best shot that she could possibly give to three little girls, and we didn’t make it easy for her, because we were as bad as three girls could possibly get but we didn’t realize that back then. Terri Donne she is the oldest of us all, very protective, very funny and every thing that you would expect from a big sister including being bossy, and sneaky. Tanya Leshan she is the youngest of us all , very intelligent very funny, and also quite the arguer. One thing that I can say for sure about Tanya’s is that she’ll never let you get over on her.

Sarina Yanae that would be me, I am the next to the oldest I’ve always considered my self to be the scary one of the bunch, and still hold some of those tendencies till this day. although I am very focused on clearing my self of most the fears that I carried in my passed, and I am finding my self to be successful with each one that I focus on I do still have a few of them so this could take some time. I love to write music, poems, and other things when I get the time, oh and one other thing is that I love to talk. As a little kid when it came to talking I was the one that would still be talking while every one else was fast asleep the conversation usually ended whenever my mouth and eyes got just a little to heavy due to the fact of me being so tiered and sleepy, and believe it or not I still do that some times till this very day.

My mother her name is Lola her life began as she was born to Marcus and Edwina Cross back in the 40s. She was one of nine which consisted of five girls and four boys, and a step sister. When she became a women she would run away from the old country house where she lived, and move in with my father, and his mother and that’s where her life really began. She had to be a woman she went out and found herself a job as a bartender at a knight club and her life would become harder than what she and you would ever come to know, for what she thought was going to be a better life turned out to be the struggle that all women never dreamed of. and she Lola endured every moment of her struggle, a struggle that we never understood until one day we were old enough to see it through our own eyes.

Lola was born in Grace, Mississippi, in those old wooden country houses in the back roads, that’s where she met my father Evan Washington. She wanted to move away from the country life so the she would not have to do all the things that she had to do, she wanted something more than picking cotton, and chopping wood. As my father as they say back in the day courted my mother he became to know her family really well, and he had began to visit with her often even sitting down with my grandfather every once and a while having conversation with him. Although I never got the chance to meet my grand father I am told that my grandfather always ended the conversation by saying “sure is right” whenever he was in agreement with something that was being said. My grand father died at a very young age to cancer they tell me that he was a very strong man the whole time that he was on his death bed, and while he was living there was never a day that he would raise a fist to my grandmother. He had a very raw and strong women  beautiful and slender in build by his side through all of it, its good to know that he was a good man even though I never got the chance to meet him.
