Deep in thought this morning…
Matriarch– a woman who rules or dominates a family, group, or state; specifically: a mother who is head and ruler of her family and descendants (Merriam-Webster)
This morning, I woke up with a new perspective about my role in life—I’m The Matriarch (pronounced dramatically and BOLDLY😂).
I knew the day would come when this would be my role, but I assumed it wouldn’t happen until I was much older. However, now that my mother is no longer here, I’m that person—the matriarch of our small but growing family. I’m the one my siblings look to in the absence of my mom. I’m the one my nieces and nephews see as the family head.
I am the Matriarch. Just trying to let it sink in.
Y’all, God has entrusted this family—my momma’s lineage—to me. Big Sister and Auntie Shaun/TT Suga Baby mean so much more, now. I’m not just the fun (crazy) sister and auntie. I’m so much more!
I guess I’ve been in this role for a while, but I hadn’t put much thought into it being an actual role. If that makes sense. It’s a role I can no longer take lightly. Now, I’m not planning on changing my personality because I don’t ever want to become too serious or boring, but I do need to be more mindful of what I say and do.
So…
What kind of legacy would I like to leave behind? What gems of wisdom will I pass on?
I would like to be known for my love for them, my love for life, and my love for humanity.
This is…
My life.
My world.
My journey.
Grateful and Blessed.♥️
I’m The Matriarch!😂👑🌺
