Our Movie Tradition with Dad

This picture is special. In years past, whenever I would come home for Christmas, my Dad, sister, Jewel, brother, Kwame and I would go to the movies. It was a tradition. Since Dad passed, I try to keep that tradition going - calling Kwame and Jewel and asking them what movie they want to see. Tonight, it was “Knives Out” (really good!). The Christmas trees lighting the streets of Birmingham, the Detroit suburb, glowing in the background, present as “Orbs” - and I can’t help but think...that is Dad surrounding his children with his love. And I’m sure he liked the movie, too.
