What a refreshing talked today from Pastora Carmen
Colón-Brown that brought back too many memories that hit home. Once again we
get to meet another beautiful human being. Her program in Vida Eterna is
dedicated to the Latino community and the kids. It is amazing to know that we
have a lot of Negi’s out there that share a similar story in life. I loved how
she was able to identify herself with Negi’s life. One of my favorite stories was about the
Vick’s and how we use Vick’s for everything. Ask me about it as I have like
five packages of them around the house and if someone coughs, I run for it. I
have to share this funny story with you. One night my son who was six at the time said
to me, “Mami can you please get that thing that makes everything better and put
it on my chest”? That was a priceless
moment for me. In her church you can find help with many resources like the
citizenship class, English classes, and summer reading programs, Girl talk,
homework, fellowship and worship.
Growing up in our family, my dad thought that Castor oil was the solution to all the colds and flus. He also believed in Vick's, he mentioned that it was eaten also or vaseline taken orally.
ReplyDeleteFor me, listening to Pastora Carmen was a confirmation of the story of Negi. It was neat to hear Pastora confirm and elaborate on many of Negis experiences so personally. Also interesting were her comments about Vicks, that Viange confirms, and castor oil from Dwight's comment. We didn't have any magical potions in my family.
