I ran into a friend of mine. She is from Barbados. Actually her mom was born there, but she was born here. When I first met her I loved her spirit. I thought she must be from Jamaica with her exhuberant attitude about life! Imagine any of those shows showing those happy Jamaicans and you got her! So fun and happy and animated! And then when she told me she was second generation, I said how it showed how the spirit of the people from that area carried in the genes!!
I said to her, "You are going to be an auntie! We are adopting..... one or two little brown babies from Ethiopia!" She was thrilled. She turned to this guy that came out of the fitness place where we were picking up our kids and said all excited, "I'm going to be an auntie! I'm so excited!! I'm going to be an auntie!!!"
It was so sweet! I told her that it will be so important for this little one to have people in her life who also have brown/black skin. And I can't think of anyone with a bigger loving spirit to be an 'auntie' to this little girl!! I told her she would have to show me how to do all those cute little hairdos!
