finding sweet rest

Jernee Timid Loadholt, asleep in one of her favorite places. Just so readers know, I’ve tried to place this bed in other spots in our living room, but Jernee will not sleep in it when it’s moved. She wants it under THIS TABLE only. Lol. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

my sweet baby girl
a mountain in the rearview
of my healing heart

my love

she looks at me with
awe settling in her pupils;
sweet nectar in my heart.

I love harder because
of her, and no one will
EVER take her place.

my love wakes me up
in the morning when the
sunlight kisses her nose.
I’m alert. I’m aware. I’m
forever changed.

she is my comfort, and
the welcome wagons that
come for me and don’t
want her are unwelcome

Jernee: A Glimpse

Jernee: staring intently at me while my mom prepares a lunch she cannot have–sloppy joes. Video created by Tremaine L. Loadholt

I have my mom over for the weekend, and this is just a short clip from yesterday, of Jernee intently staring directly at me because she wanted some of what my mom was preparing to eat, which she could NOT have–sloppy joes!

When these two get together, a barrel of laughs is had. Lol. You can hear my mom talking in the background stating something along the lines of, “You keep saying she can’t hear and can’t see” and also, “She wasn’t paying me any kind of attention.”

My mom is a loud talker. Everything she says is at a volume I’d consider NOT being an “inside voice.” I’m certain that’s the blend of the Bronx, New York and West Savannah, Georgia deeply embedded in her upbringing. Lol!

I’m forever “Shushing” her and to no avail. Oh, but she is certainly funny, and Jernee & I enjoy her company from time to time.

She can be a bit much, though. This weekend, however, we are managing not to get on each other’s nerves too badly. So, I’ll take it.

Also, this is my first post using the Jetpack app which WordPress has basically shoved down my throat. Please tell me if the post is generated okay for you on your end.

I’ve also been using the Jetpack reader for about three days. Not bad. Not bad at all, actually. I may end up being a fan.
