As I continue to prepare for my impending surrender to the Hazelton federal prison camp on November 30, 2023, I hope that my daily journal entries show my commitment to teaching others.
Today Nov 14th I sit at my office desk and look back what did the time go. It was like yesterday we would be riding our bikes and playing with GI JO toys my older sister Mashael God rest her sole. ☹ had bought for myself and younger brother Dhafir. We lived in Detroit back in 1964 and it was safe to play till 11 pm outside. Today we have Ring and cameras and sensor lights to protect us and our family from harm. Our generation has changed by a lot. My grandkids and kids will see things ill never see. On Sunday last week My sister Norah / MOM hosted our entire family to come together to see me.
Once parents pass aways families tend to drift apart. My sister Norah and I were always to Glue to keep the family together. After a prayer my Niece Nattily said of lunch. I followed by telling pour family to keep this tradition going. Our parents were loaners and did not interact with their siblings or other family members. I had told my children I don’t want them to grow up without knowing their roots as well as my grandkids not knowing there4 first cousins. To me carrying a tradition is ongoing to start and had over the torch to others to carry. Last Sunday showed me and proved to me how a family should come together not just because of tragedies
As times nears, I’m reflection on how other family members with to come and see me prior to Nov 30th. That’s respect. I’m leaving this week to a privet religious retreat to strengthen my faith and meet with my spiritual guide. This 24 hours will add much value as I will have complete silence and no phone. I take time to think as it is the source of power and ill take time to pray as it is the power on earth.
I’m very certain on November 30th once that door closes a new chapter of my life will began. For better or worst I’ll be make a new person out of me come hell or high water. Sometimes we face difficulties to make us better people not just for our self’s but to be able to help others. My surrender novena tells it all. I leave everything in god’s hands. This week we are hosting Michael who has become a trusted friend and advisor on my unforeseen issue. My family and I are sincerely thrilled to have him as our lunch guest at our home. He been a great and honest mentor to me and my family Amen
