Well I grew up from the age of 8 till around 20 on a Nanticoke Indian Reservation back on the east coast. No I am not Nanticoke I am about 35% Cherokee Indian and the rest Irish.
I was given the name of Shadow because I was so quiet. I rarely spoke unless I had a question or something of value to contribute.
I was given the name Raven because of what the chief saw for my future. Sometimes that has been a good thing and sometimes its been a curse. Today its a curse to me.
You see part of the meaning of the name Raven is that the Raven will come into your life at a time when you need its help. Once you no longer need its help it will leave or you will leave it behind. But either way its not longer part of your life. The Raven carries a message or signifies a time for change in your life. Sometimes it can be a prancster and jokester but all in all its a value to the lives it comes into in one way or another.
Today a good friend of mine who I consider closer then my real blood sister informed me she is moving away. My heart sank so low and its still pretty low at the moment. You see now why the name is such a curse today. She swears to me she will come back to visit and stay here with me at my house. You see I would love to believe that but thats has now been my history. Oh she will be back once or twice and then her time will be consumed with other things and she won't be back again for a year.
You can say I am being selfish if you want but she has dreams and goals that this move will help her obtain and I am really happy for her but I am going to miss her greatly. If Las Vegas is not what makes her happy then by all means I hope the
best for her and I wish the best and that she gets what ever it is she
is looking for where ever she may end up.
I love her dearly even tho the words don't come out of my mouth as often as they probably should and I want her to reach her goals and be happy.
