Just a mixed girl living in a one-drop world.

I’m a mixed girl living in a “one-drop” kinda world. And according to this world, I am the tail and not the head.
I am NOT above, I am beneath.

🎊Happy Heavenly Birthday @colouremedy .🎊
Today you would’ve turned 28 …..

Your birthday will never look the same because you’re no longer with us but we will always remember your life, love and legacy. And that’s what today was about. 
Remembering all the love, joy and beauty that remains. 
Remembering how we have been inspired and impacted by you. 

I can only imagine what you’re creating in heaven for God’s glory. And one day, I won’t have to imagine because I’ll get to see it with my own eyes. 

To us the words of Anne Frank:
“I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.” 

Thank you to my community:  @Adilia, Scotti, Lynn and Ms. Blessing for being wind under my wings by helping today’s remembrance be so special. 

I’ve heard it said that “community is the fruit born through shared brokenness, and intimacy is the fruit that grows through touching one another’s wounds.” 

Thank you for being a part of my community and for sharing in our brokenness during our darkest days and nights; and
thank you for continually praying for us to endure, for giving your time to us today, and for helping us remember and celebrate all the beauty and love that remains because Janae was here. 🎊

@buttercupblu222 @colouremedy 
This time last year we were about to take your birthday trip…
This year looks very different. 
You would’ve been 28 on August 8th. 
My my my. How fast life can change in one moment.
Has it felt like just a day Janae since we’ve last been with you?
For us, it’s been almost a year..
But rather than focusing on the pain…on your departure…
We are choosing to focus on your beautiful life this Saturday…
We are choosing to remember all the love and beauty that remains. 
We miss you tremendously..
But we know it’s only temporary...
This week has been HARD.. 
BUT….
The story God is writing for us continues…
And I look forward to the day when our stories align again. 
We love you Janae. 💛
