Dear Readers,
When I was a child, I loved visiting my grandfather in Queens, New York.
One time I had a stomach ache after eating too many sweets. Going to his house and playing with my cousins always gave us an opportunity to eat the “forbidden foods with too much sugar.”
The pack of cookies was on the table and I grabbed as many chocolate chip cookies as my little hands could hold and ran to my spot under the hydrangea bush to eat them slowly.

Dear Readers,
I cannot tell you how I feel while watching the news and what is happening to innocent Black males. I called my son, Amir, who is 19 years old just to hear his voice and he did not pick up. I felt a surge of panic and thought, “He should be home by now.” I called again an hour later and he picked up and told me that he had taken a nap.

Dear Readers,
It is interesting reading articles from ten years ago. I feel like they are still very relevant today. Here is another flashback from 2011.
It is printed in its entirety:

Dear Readers,
I am not sure about you but I do not think there will ever be a day again in my life that I will not sincerely appreciate a hug or seeing a smile.
