since i move to the U.S i love it here but Liberia is still my home. There are things i miss about Liberia so much.

I remember me and my brothers and our neighborhood friends use to go to the well or the creek in our neighborhood and fill our playtoy guns with water and have a waterwar. I remember us running all over the neighborhood and screaming. Mostly the guys will beat the girls because they could run just a little bit faster.

I also miss swimming in the river. When it rains the river at the well gets full and we will all just swim in it. It was so fun and relaxing.

I also miss waking up early in the morning to get the mango from under the tree before my family wake up. Alphonso always woke up just a little bit early before me and i use to be piss because he took the good ones and went and sold it at school or the town nearby. He use to give me only a few.

I mostly miss hangin with my grandmother and brading her hair(eventhough i use to suck at brading). I remember when she use to cook pepper soup her favorite. she use to have all kinds on meat in it. I remmember her telling me stories of the old. Damn i miss my grandma SO much. R.I.P ELIZABETH COX- see u in the beautiful heaven. make sure you meat me at heavens gate when its my time.

WHAT DO YOU MISS ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY? WHAT DO YOU MISS WHEN GROWING UP?

I will make sure i go back to LIBERIA before i die.

I miss the food, the sky, the weather, the culture, fresh water, black love, my home boyz and the sense of belonging.
