My mother [View all]

It is impossible to describe the disappointment.
My mother, the woman that taught me to give my hand in help before being asked, the woman that taught me to see that the face of the poor is the face of Jesus.
She told me, a few times, that I shouldn't see a black woman as wife material because...... because our babies would be black.
My oldest daughter (adopted) married a black man and gave me three beautiful babies. It was OK because she was adopted and no blood relation to us.
I have asked her, at least a million times, to please keep her thought on the matter to herself.
As we were having a conversation about Prince Harry and his wife she mentioned that it is his fault for marrying "one of them black people." I reminded her that my grandbabies were also black and I love them more than my own life. My daughter married a black man that wakes up at 4am every work day, has a beautiful house and is devoted to his babies and wife.
Her response: "I didn't mean it that way" and "I am sorry and you know I am not racist."

My brothers and sister have also spoken to her about her views and to please keep them to herself.

It is very hard to describe the anger and disappointment on the woman that gave me the values I hold today.

Thank you and have a great week!!!!
