Special Thanks To Tionna Pt. III
for 11.2003
It was November 3, 1998.  I was literally living in a living room with nowhere else to go except a shelter (which I almost did 3 months down the line).  This particular day something had happened that depressed me more than usual about my living conditions; I was extremely stressed.  I remember lying down on the couch and thinking to myself,

To hell with The Temptaions, I'll see this show some other time.  I need to sleep this one off.

Unknowingly and probably simultaniously grandma
Thelma was slippin away.  Some of her children and grandchildren were at the hospital doing what had been said that we should do, when someone is on their way to the entrance of heaven's door.  They stood before her singing and celebrating her life.  The more they sang, the futher away her soul went, until the only thing left in the hospital bed was an empty vessel.  They sang a while longer and then they all began to cry and embrace.

As far as I know nobody "spazed out" as a result of them witnessing her pass.  I believe that as long as the Collins family has each other, they will be all right.  I also believe that I too, will be all right and there really is someone out there worse off than I am.  I strongly believe that the story of Grandma (which is what I call her since the story made me feel like a kin to her) is going to help me release, accept, and completely let go.

T-Boss Thank you so much. . .
