5.5 years apart (May 2018 and December 2023, I ended up graduating from college a bit late due to having to retake a class that’s only offered in the fall). I’m 18 in the first pic and 24 in the second. And no the pose isn’t the same on purpose.

I have no idea what I was doing on the left. I didn’t even know the picture existed until a few months ago.

My best friend of over 30 years- 1993 to present

The lady you see on the left of me. Her name she goes by is “mom mom.” I was dorky looking kid. Knowing me. I recall going to her house when my mom offered me to come along. She had a small dog (can’t remember his name but his coat was similar to a Rottweiler and Doberman). She would always fond over my little kid face and always tell me before leaving her home. “I don’t wanna see you working in McDonald’s flipping burgers. I wanna see you do something better with yourself” with her hands on my cheeks at the door. “Oh he’s so handsome” she would say. My response every time I leave was “Yes, ma’am” after her affirmations. She was always optimistic for me. As I was unsure of my life anyway. 

I recall visiting her and she asked my mom to make a sandwich for me. I had a “white sandwich” for the first time 😆. I mean the ones you see on TV shows and Movies. I had the whole nine. Wonder bread, sliced turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and mustard. And first bite. Skyrocketed tastebuds. I use to eat regular bolognese sandwiches (which doesn’t bother me) but eating something I use to see on television was a whole other ball game.

She really was “ten toes down.” And what I mean by that. A story was told of her by my mother many years later. She explained that during the old days. During “white flight.” Her entire neighbors knocked on her door. Explaining “the black people” are moving in. She told everyone in contact that she wasn’t leaving her home she’s paying a mortgage on. And she wasn’t phased by their shocked expressions. Even adding more sting to their shock. She replied with “I can’t wait to meet my new neighbors. So see ya.” 

Me in this suit was around the time my Middle School magnet banquet I believe. Can’t remember but I believe it was that.

R.I.P. Mom Mom
She passed in 2008 right after left for college. I found out a year later in 2009.

Early 2000s (Middle School) - A special sentiment. 

My daughter and I

Still can’t believe I’m this old.  My grandma knit me a wool sweater every year until I was 12.
