My emotions are at the surface and I am on the verge of tears. The last time I made this journey, my sister and I drove with my niece and nephew. That time it was a working journey more or less. This time it is to see my great aunt Lucy Hunter and learn more about other kin I did not know I had. I will visit the old homestead, the grave sites, Flat Ruff Baptist Church and listen as I hear stories I have not heard before. When black women get together.....well lets just say it is a good time had by most if not all.
I am embracing this journey.......going to get the rental car.
