Fridays were always fun for Jeannette and I when she was a teenager. We lived in a beautiful house in Clovis, California. As soon as she arrived home from school we would get ready and have dinner at Happy Steak on Blackstone Ave. here in Fresno. She had a big appetite back in those days. Happy thoughts of her run through my mind. Remembering how beautiful, young and carefree she was. We shared everything from shorts, tops, make-up and hair products to secrets that we would never tell anyone else. It was an awesome Mother and Daughter relationship. At times I experienced difficult times financially. After seeing me stressed and worried, Jeannette would snuggle next to me and tell me, "Ma, forget about the troubles." I would ask her how could I forget and she would say, "Give it all up to God, ma."
I did just that back then and I still do now. I count my blessings.
