We Are Not Promised Tomorrow !

Its 6:30 am Saturday morning and I have been up since 3:30 am as usual listening to my favorite Frank Sinatra's song " My Way ", my heart is heavy ? I have not seen my child in many years and we have a appointment to see each other in 5 or 6 years for political reasons, and when we do, it will be a a long time coming ! My child always unfortunately had to grow up with me in the shadows, so there would be know discrimination because of who I am, and my last name . When my child was born, her Mother ( ex-fiance ) and I decided it would be best if the last name remains the Mothers, so the chances of having a fair shot at the " American Dream ", would be attainable. It was a big choice with life long consequences for my whole family, who paid the price as she moved away on Dec-15-1997 ! It was a gamble and personally it hurt my Manhood deeply that I could not boast publicly about my wonderful child as a Father would . It was more important for me that my child was raised in the best neighborhoods and best schools and by my God's Love and Mercy that has happened, and now 16 years later my child will be a Doctor in 2019 !  This is one choice I made in my life that was my toughest ever,  but I guarantee you this, it was the Blessed Choice. I may have failed many things but I can at least say,  I got this one right, the most important ! I won't wait until 2019 to see my child, I will see as soon as possible, because just like I always have known but got reminded to me this morning in that Frank Sinatra's song,  no one is promised tomorrow !
