Bag Lady: Happy & Homeless Documentary: Episode 6: The Struggle Is Real Bag Lady: Happy & Homeless By Realady

    • Documentary

This day reflects July 1, 2020, 3-days prior to the 4th of July. On June 22nd of 2020, my daughter was in a tragic accident leaving her and the passenger with life longtime injuries. With that being said, let me rephrase my statement about the passenger being "brain dead" (surgery prevented that from happening). I will rephrase to say that she experienced severe injuries to her brain. To say the least, is I had no choice but to take the good with the bad. My daughter was alive. I can't stop thanking God enough 🙏🏽 He gave my baby another chance at life. He gave me another chance to continue being a Mother to my child. Thank you God for keeping my child and her friend alive. God bless the soul of the life lossed 🙏🏽 I had to rent a room for a few days to get some me time to take all of this in. Overwhelmed isn't the word. More importantly all praises and glory to God. I not only thank Him for her life, but also get strength. She was so determined to learn how to walk and breathe again. Her strong will wanted no sympathy. I couldn't believe all that was taking place on the phone the morning I received the news. So many emotions inflated me. When I hung up that phone. I crawled up in a big ole ball just like Lenny Williams sort of described, but a whole lot deeper. I was hurt. I was literally hurting for my baby. An aggravating pain seeping through from the thoughts of my mind swirling and twirling. The constant blinks of my eyes trying to vision what happened to my baby. Excruciating to my soul seeing her car on the opposite side of the road sitting diagonal in the opposite position. With both side doors cut off. Once I got off of the phone with the BSO Officer who informed me of the situation. I immediately called hospital and they gave me all of the details to her injuries. It was mind-blowing for me. She needed me more than ever and I needed her even more than ever. Not knowing how this would change our lives. Yes it has done that, ask me am I complaining? Hell no. Ask me, does she complain? Not much at all. If it was me, I'm sure I probably would, cause I don't see how she's taken it so well. It was a struggle and it still is. Yet, we are so forever grateful for life. The struggle is real, that's the truth. FYI: the for those who may not know, the tune you hear during the audio for this episode is from one of my r&b singles "The Struggle" by Realady (type in Google or just type in Realady). It's on all digital platforms. To see the visuals for this episode, all episodes are on YouTube. Thank you all for tuning in.
