First- My cousin Michael...who just know that he is God's archangel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel)). told me that he understands why Satan is so messed up (I wonder if he meant mentally too!). Told me that he went over there for breakfast with Satan's mother and to destroy Satan. Well, while he was giving Satan time to get ready, he sat and ate Steak & Eggs that Satan's mother prepared. Said the food was horrible! My cousin said "No wonder Satan is the way he is...his mother can't cook." WOW! Thank God He can DO ALL THINGS! Satan gon' have to get lost.
Nevertheless, grandmom did not want him going to the funeral (her bestfriend) with us today. And at the end of the day, she was starting to feel the same way about me! But boy did she laugh and have a good time!
When we arrive
d at (what in the world was the name of the church?) well it's on the corner of the 400 block of Tennessee Ave NE (don't even know the preacher name...shoot... It was like a total of 9 or 10 priests, pastors, ministers--never seen that before!) there was a collage of photos of Mrs. Hawings...

It was like a total of 9 or 10 priests, pastors, ministers--never seen that before!) there was a collage of photos of Mrs. Hawings......let me take a min. to tell you about this lady! When I first met her, she was 70...swimming very often...bikinis only...mad at the older men for tryna holla "skunkin' her from gettin' her a youngin;" fussin' with Sami (sami was the only one who would not say "Mrs. Hawkins." She would call her "Hawkins." Mrs. Hawkins would fuss, it's "Mrs. Hawkins to you lil girl.") while demanding her respect and showing much love, simultaneously. In her younger days, she was a hawtty! In her dying days, I told her to get outta that bed so she can slide down the pole in the boom boom room! She replied, "where da pole at?" This lady even went to the movies by herself occassionally (her soulmate went Home years ago). Love her spirit!
Can't believe Mrs. Hawkins filled that church up like that! Never knew she had ties with so many people. The church could not hold all the many diverse people who came to pay respect & see Mrs. Hawkins go back to where she came.
Anyway, Mrs. Hawkins was dressed up in a cream suit with red gloves...looking so peacefully beautiful.
My grandmother, who is normally strong, broke down (reminds me: my bf posted beautiful pics from Lee's funeral and I cried when I saw her so grieved...saddened me with gma the same way today...she needed the support...(shoulda been w/bf 2)
to wrap it up...
*preacher preached so good, I gotta go back for more...said back in his day they had Chuck Brown, RE and Funk!!!
*grandma got mad at me cuz I was frownin so hard at the pumpkin pie tasting like lard and flour! Told me "fix ur face up in here like that!"
*grandma called Ms. Toni's dad "DADDY" (who btw is a preacher...I made the mistake of asking "u used to be a preacher?" skiiiiirrrrrrrkkkk...use to be!!! everyone jumped down my throat! Shoot he was so old...I didn't know*sorry*)...aw gma...u bet not let granddad hear u call another man daddy!*three white doves were released flew high and formed a circle! I can see your Halo... (noticed that I couldn't capture any Heavenly moments on camera...guess u had to be there!)
Aunt wanted to laugh so bad at my behavior today *snickering* but she had to be the "good" one at the Funeral. Mrs. Hawkins would have laughed & loved it! I'ma miss you "Hawkins" Thank You for the union! We needed and deserved it! Watch over us please!
