It's official! On Friday, August 22nd, 2014, my nephew Curtis (aka Deuce) married his fiance Summer.
It was such a beautiful wedding, on a beautiful day at Woodlawn Beach in Buffalo, New York. I am very happy for their family. Summer is a sweetheart and Curtis is a hoot and a half. I wish them many wonderful years together.
I am glad to have been there to witness this joyous day and to spend time with my family. It's been a long time since I was last in Buffalo; I hadn't seen most of the people for more than 10 years. I also got to meet so many new family members, including Summer and her beautiful children. Also, my niece Vee (my brother Randall's daughter) and her son Tae Tae, my two nephews MyShawn (aka Chocolate Chip, aka My Pocket Baby) and his oldest brother EJ (both are my brother Shawn's sons). My cousin, [not so little] Joseph (he's the son of my late Uncle Joseph). I got to see my cousin Angie, whom I hadn't seen since I was a kid. I saw my mom, my dad, my Aunt Audrey, and my oldest brother Cedric (aka CC) and his girlfriend Shawn, and my younger brother Eli --- both of whom, I hadn't seen in over 15 years. I also saw my Uncle Chris, whose fiance officiated the service. It was such a wonderful time.
I am so glad that I came home. I love my family so much, and I am glad to see them again.
