Soul Food-Tomorrow Isn’t Guaranteed

As most of you are aware I lost my dad a few months ago. There are days I still feel like it isn’t real if I could just write one more letter, see him one more time…

My stepmom and I have always been close, I welcomed her into my world when she and my dad reunited. They had been high school sweethearts, before he looked her up again 25 years later, (think of the movie The Notebook). She’s always been more of a mom to me than my own mom ever was, (who has since departed this world also).

Yesterday, I got a phone call, my stepmom had just lost her only son, a few months after losing her husband. My step-sister-in-law and I had become very close, especially after I moved back to Ohio in 2016 after my mom had passed.
