Today would have been my brother’s 49th birthday. Y’all, I just knew we would grow old together. Happy heavenly birthday, Rell.♥️ October 5, 1973 – October 19, 2019
Here’s what I shared on that day three years ago (October 5, 2019) –
Facebook Memory: October 5, 2019
Second message this week about everything happens for a reason. So I must make it today’s social media find. Rest assured God’s got you. He already has everything worked out. Just trust Him. Believe me, I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s something we must learn to do. Y’all have a blessed day.🙏🏽♥️
This was in response to a post made by TV ONE – “Laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself everything happens for a reason.”
That week, my emotions were all over the place. My anxiety level was like a ten. You know how you can feel something about to happen but can’t pinpoint what? I remember being so anxious that entire day, and the days that followed, were even worse. Didn’t know I would actually laugh at the confusion. Not really. Smile through the tear. Boy did I do a lot of crying, but of course I kept smiling. One thing that I couldn’t seem to do was focus on the “everything happens for a reason” part. HA! One thing I forgot to do was take my own advice and trust that God knew what He was doing. Honestly, I’m still confused about that part. Only God knows the lessons and reasons behind everything that happened.
Yeah.. October 2019 was a month I truly wanted to forget. Hands down, it was one of the worst months of my life. Y’all, I honestly didn’t think I could see another October and not feel some kind of way. I’m so thankful time takes away the sting. That God loves us enough to make sure we heal from pain.

Good morning Ms. Shaun,
Today is also my mother’s birthday as well. She would have been 58 today. It’s so hard to imagine her at that age. She passed away when I was 13 and she was 34. I am now 36 and it’s weird to think that I’m older than my mother was when she left. #ButGod I’m so grateful for his grace and his mercy. He has truly kept me all these years. My momma would be so proud of all God has allowed me to accomplish. I miss my momma. Tracee L. Hargrove Oct 5, 1964-July 12, 1999. It’s been a long 23 years, but I know for a fact that it’s because of God that I am still here and not in somebody’s psych ward. (FORREAL).
