Today is Mother's Day (Shout out to all the mama's, sistas, aunts, God Mom's, and church mom's out there). As it is customary, the eldest women in my family's home church acknowledged the oldest female members, aka the Church Moms. No, I didn't attend the service. (my grandmother is old and doesn't go out.) Anyway, I stopped by my Aunt's house after service to say Happy Mother's Day and what do I get?
"Jazlyn, I'm over 90. When are you going to get married? I want to see you married before I die." Really? Not saying I'll never get married, but its not up to me and my timing. "Aunt Mae, there are more important things in life than getting married. All the people I know who are miserable are married. What about my career and my accomplishments thus far? They would have never taken place had I already gotten married. There are more important things than getting married." That last statement was like Japanese to her.
So I pose the question, really, is getting married everything?
