How I Became "Mr. Mom"

By Romeo Jones

To be nineteen and free! I thought Chicago was my oyster. I was a well-dressed, handsome, and charming young man. Women were in and out of my life like a souped-up race car darting in and out of traffic! Life was good!

But then I saw her-the girl of my dreams; and to my surprise, I was her dream guy! And against all odds, against those who never wanted us to be, she became my "forever girl!"

I had it all: a beautiful wife, two lovely children, and the course was set-my happily ever after! We were inseparable-she for me and me for her! Nothing could go wrong, except…the unimaginable.

How could I lose the love of my life? My "forever girl" was no more. And now, life would never be the same.

In August, the summer of 1978, my uncle, Reverend John, was the minister of Temple of Life Baptist Church, a church that he built from the ground up. On Tuesdays of every week, there was choir rehearsal. Pokey was a member of Temple of Life Church and also a singer in the choir. My uncle John asked me if I knew Pokey, and I said yes. I met her through the organ player, Melvin. He said that Pokey brought her sister Angel to rehearsal with her, and she introduced her to me and the choir.

My uncle said that Angel may be someone that I would want to get to know. He said that she was beautiful and fine as hell, had a nice personality, and she attended Chicago State University. When my uncle told me about her, in some strange way, I felt like he put us together. I told my uncle that she was definitely a woman I would love to meet.
