I do not go shopping on Black Friday sales anymore. That is, since I lost my mom and Aunt Neil in Walmart several years ago. I’ve always been the designated driver when Mom and Aunt Neil wanted to go shopping and I enjoyed it. It gave me a chance to spend time with, listening to…

It’s no secret in my family I was my daddy’s favorite daughter. Why wouldn’t I be? I am the oldest of two daughters, the only child until I turned eight-year-old and to my mother’s dismay, I was a tomboy. I’m blessed to still have my dad with me. Each holiday and Father’s Day are more…
