    Wow.. I love it!

    I had to Google some of the Spanish words, which gave me a fascinating insight into your ancestry. (I hate being ignorant!!!)

    Your love for your “little reflection” touches me so deeply. I know one can say “What’s not to love?” She’s adorable and she is your flesh and blood, but the way u express your love for her is so special!

    Thanks for sharing these beautiful words. You keep me enthralled.

    i appreciate the comments. i was a bit hesitant about posting, because the focus was “me.” Thanks for all of your kind words.

    you killed this one and it seems with such ease. his legacy meets her destiny brought chills. loved the combination of Miles & Mos Def, Coltrane & Black Thought.
