It's been 2 years since you passed away and the void in my heart is still empty and aching. Just wrote out few lines on you to reminisce those memories with you and help me grieve better.. 
An ode to My Father
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye .
You were gone before
Only god knew why
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye .
You were gone before
Only god knew why
Those long walks with you as a kid
Taking shelter in your arms when tired
Those long discussion and funny stories you used to tell
I should do best & be happy, that was what you desired

eight years ago i had the opportunity to attend Obama's 2nd inauguration & it was MLK Jr. Day. it was a whirlwind, somewhat last minute decision but worth every minute of the less than 48 hours i was in D.C. i shared an airport shuttle with a Black woman. who worked for Fox News.
my friend K. and i were up before dawn, following our carefully plotted route by foot, subway & taxi to the inauguration which included a hotel bathroom break. security included metal detectors once we were near the capital. we stood in the front row of the fenced off section.
once there, it was a risk to use the restroom, unsure if we could reclaim our spot but we did (but not without a lot of side eyes). after Obama spoke, people left. front row we saw Paula Abdul, Nick Cannon and others. i'd have left then too in order to beat the crowds.
