But (ironically) my maternal grandparents said that my father was too dark for her daughter. Maybe it was a family tradition smh

i know it ain't nothing but brightness along my whole family tree. my lightness is so strong that it over-ruled my husband in 2 out of 3 kids.

it sucks how the older ones really had that paper bag thing down.  my dad was 80 when he passed in july, and when he met my husband the only thing he focused on was that he had on brown and was 'lookin like a big ole tootsie roll'.  my husband is denzel's color

other than that, he is the TYPE of man they expected me to be with, doting to the extent of being spoiling, super family oriented, successful, known well within our community, has service oriented interests, well established financially.  they expected him to have a degree since i do and they are both master's holders, but he was able to do exceptionally well without it.
