My best friend and I met in kindergarten and we’ve been joined at the hip ever since. I can’t even begin to describe how thankful I am to have this incredibly kind, goofy, patient and understanding man as my best friend. He’s my platonic soulmate.
This is what you get when you use Oil of Olay since 14. LOL
We just celebrated out 19th anniversary last week
Had a lot of growing pains , went from being the shy boy , to the drug addicted , homeless , rapper where my life was in shambles . The most convoluted time in my life tryna figure my shit out . To the man I’ve always knew I could become , got two beautiful kids I see regularly , they’re mom (pictured ) I’ve known since 15 who stuck by my side thru all of it , I’ve worked at fed ex now for almost two years and start HVAC trade school in September, and im sober now. Fuck it , I’m proud of me 🤞🏾
My dad was born in 1940 and my mom was born in 1954, so I can only estimate that the pictures of my mom were taken around 1958 and 1970 (her senior picture), and my dad’s pictures taken around 1948 and 1957 (legend has it he flubbed his age to enlist before he was 18).
The photo of all three of us (1979) cracks me up, because they look like frazzled, new parents, trying to take a good picture, but really just looking like hostages. I was so hopelessly addicted to my pacifier, that you can tell they had to yank at the very last minute, lest I erupt in a fit. That morning’s grape jelly or whatever is caked around my mouth, and not one of the three of us looks genuinely happy. Gotta love it.😆
Edit: omg y’all!! I just finished episode one of Scandal, and now I see it!!
No, not that I look like Olivia Pope, (we have a similar smile, and that’s about it ) but that this is a good ass show I should’ve been watching all along! I love Reddit!!!!!
The youngest one became the tallest one. 😆
