In case nobody has told you lately....
And in case I need to tell myself.
Just breathe.
I'm proud of you.

HAPPY 4th OF JULY NEW JERSEY πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸŽ† 🌭

I'm representing my Daddy today.
He is the genesis of my American story.
As a young man, he came to this country from the mountains of Jamaica looking for a new way of life. πŸ‡―πŸ‡²βœˆοΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

He had a lot of dreams.... some fulfilled, some unrealized, but he (and my Mom) raised their children to understand that no matter what, there is opportunity here...

Even when doors are closed, progress proves difficult or denied, to keep pressing forward.

He's the one who introduced us to all things American. He loved Motown and Rock and Country music, western and action movies and comedy. He took us to parades and air shows, county fairs and baseball games. He loved America.

So.... I watched the jets fly above and the boats in full regalia in the Hudson River, and thought of my Daddy.

He would have loved this.

But I'm still here. Not going anywhere. Just give me a minute.

I love you, NJ. πŸ–€

For us,

If there is one person I know who loves me, it's my Daddy. This week I told him we will be okay, he can be free. Now he is. πŸ•ŠοΈ

He waited for me. Something tells me that he will always be waiting on his baby girl. I can't wait to see him again.

I'll love you forever, Johnson. Forever.
