February 24 is a unique day for me. My grandma Ida B. Sparks and my great-aunt Rosie Mae O’Bryant both passed away on that date—my grandma passed in 1992 and Aunt Rosie in 2017. I’m celebrating their lives and legacies today with this poem, which I wrote after my grandma passed away.
A Week of Celebrations
It’s a week of celebrations at Magic City Momma. Not only are we excited about Christmas, the most Splonderful time of the year, but we’re also celebrating the birthdays of three of my favorite women.
