Much like Mama Joyce, I only want the best for my son. As a new mother, I now understand how bonded a mother is with her child. Additionally, during the episode you see Mama Joyce being protective of Kandi about her male suitors, as a mother should be. I am very proud of my husband and grateful for our family. Marriage is not only the union of two people, but of two families which often can be just as rewarding as it is challenging. In any relationship, especially marriage, misunderstandings are inevitable. I point this out because in any healthy relationship it is essential to know each other’s heart and by doing so, you are able to speak on behalf of one another whenever misunderstandings arise.
During this episode, you see Apollo and I defending each other. While family and gratitude are not blatantly obvious in this episode, if you watch closely it is the recurring theme. On Thanksgiving we typically surround ourselves with family and remember the importance of enjoying the simple things in life while we stuff ourselves with turkey and all the other delightful fixings of the day. To give me some perspective, she shared a sample family tree which read at the bottom, “Like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions yet, our roots remain as one.” With Thanksgiving upon us, it is the perfect time to reflect on the importance of family and gratitude. She completed hers recently and successfully traced her lineage back to the early 1800s.
A few days ago my dear friend, Monica, stopped by to help me start my family tree.
