Sisters Trini and Purple....it's soooo good to see you too and to be back home again. It truly feels good to be here and I could not let this opportunity slip by, on such a wonderful occasion, without spending a little time with my family. ((hug)))
Like you, Trini, I cried, laughed out loud, jumped up and down, and then, when I settled down, I quietly reflected on what this means to me and my ancestors. My mother passed recently...she was 93...and I wanted, so badly, for her to experience this moment in time with me, but sadly, it was not to be, so I picked up the banner and carried on in her tradition and voted as I knew she would have done if she could have.
It might sound trite, but I'm feelin' a special kind of love for my people today. It's a great feeling.
Peace,
Queenie
