Family

[debbiepeter]

maybe the sister is finally realizing you being happy is way more important than you being with a man an miserable. My daughter is gay and her partner is awesome and love having her as my daughter in law, she is smart and pretty and makes my daughter smile omg my daughter beams when she is near Sarah it does my heart good to see her so happy. Think its time to let old feelings go and understand you being happy is way more important than past upsets. We all grow up its time to just all be happy!

[selima77]

@debbiepeter man i appreciate you commenting. i wish all parents were as accepting. ty so much for subbing and watching <3

[lczwife]

We love Aja!!!!

[selima77]

@lczwife i love her tooooooo lol

[KimmyNicol328]

Its good 2 kno dat im not the only 1 dat fights with my sister.

[EBONIKNIGHT]

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU GOD BLESS TAKE CARE

[supermumtaza]

That is a fantastic story to hear!!! It's sad and frustrating when family is down on someone for being gay, but forgiving, moving on and being in the lives of the children, too, is way cooler than staying mad.

[selima77]

@supermumtaza agreed! thank you so much for watching

[HisWifey0507]

Great Video, it's good to hear you and your family are mending fences. Now, please tell me about the lipstick you're wearing...LMAO

[fropropanop]

That's awesome!! Take your time, but keep up the effort of rebuilding your family relations.

[calibdaygo]

that's dope! it's never too late for reconcilation ESPECIALLY in a family. and 8 years, whew! thumbs up 

[kayydeemay3]

famly is a blessing enjoy the good times love

[LeOhio817]

Do you and keep on rolling. You can't please everyone and as long as you're happy and not hurting anyone, you can't go wrong.

[blklacquer]

that lipstick omg!! 8yrs!!!! WooHoo!! I'm happy for you sis..hope there are many more happy moments to come. next time somebody bring banana pudding..you better call me!

[shaundalove1975]

like normal right..cheerful video *like*

[misscandicejayy]

I'm happy for you.. Your face lit up while talking about it. So ik you're really happy .. Which is really good :-)

[AriandeElise]

2 words: Break Through.... You better praise him. Nothing but God.

[tmeicxl]

Your neice was hanging on your arm fat hugh..lol. First let me just say that you have a smile that can light up any room. Second, thank heaven for change and new opportunities. Third I'm happy for you and your family because at the end of the day such events in our lives really feel good. Here's to continued progress in 2012. I really feel that the kids will benefit from you being more involved in their lives b/c I think you are a heck of a person...Funny as heck but with a heart of gold. Peace

[JapanNailsAndMore]

I loved your story.. sounds like your family is coming around a little more and just loving you for you and being more acceptable. I pray it keeps going. Just hang on in there.

[havplenty2009]

Thanks for sharing such a personal story with us. I'm excited for u. Hopefully your family will continue to show acceptance. I am going through a similar situation myself. And I think I have to prove to my family that this is not a phase. We will see. Looking forward to hearing more updates.

[havplenty2009]

I was touched by your story thanks for sharing such a personal experience. I am in a similar situation with my family and I am so excited that your family has attempted to except your lifestyle. I have only been in my relationship for 2 months so I have a lot to prove to my family that my relationship is not a phase. I guess only time will tell.

[delisama714]

Yay!!! That's great! So happy for you!

[shortybang10]

That's great!!!

[CSouthCac]

That is so great! I'm happy for you and your family!

[MsExcite1]

Its great that you guys are big enough to allow each other to grow and change....that you dont hold each other to the past. Thank God for mercy....if it was just judgement where would we be. I know they enjoyed you guys just as much as you all enjoyed them.

[517dmomma]

[DeeCee95]

[nickyejay09]

[frankie46507]

That makes me Sooooo Happy to hear how well the family lunch turned out !!!!

[trew1020]

it is very big and mature of your sister to engage in you and your family...try to keep that going thats great news

[fredafredar]

I'm so happy for you. Sis!

[calicaldeb]

I truly understand, I am so happy for you.

[MzDymond34]

Thanks for sharing Sis, sounds like you really enjoyed their compay AWESOME =)

[whoissugar]

I love videos like this.

[newme73]

I feel that family doesn't have to condone your lifestyle but they are supposed to be there for you. NO more no less. Family is supposed to be the cornerstone.

[mikeila25]

I think you should continue with the once a month get togethers!! You seem so happy that it went well. I don't know the history but all of us have history with family and to be able to put it aside is a wonderful thing.

[IbrowDiva]

Hey Selma,

It's so funny that you would talk about this subject. I don't want to shed no more tears. But know that we all go though stuff with our families. But all you can do is stay prayerful and pray that everything will work out for the best.. Its good that you all got together..

Love You Sis,

Rennaye'

[divagirlrn]

That's great that your family is making an effort to get along because at the end of the day it's what's most important.

[Xpatlife]

Thanks for sharing Selima. When we are going through shit with our family we think "this only happens in my family". Truth is, every family has their own issues, the important thing is that we know when to let it go and move on.

[IbrowDiva]

@Xpatlife AMEN Xpatlife...

[wharvey36]

This is beautiful.  I totally understand about how it feels to be able to sit down and have a conversation with my blood without going to blows. Plus have my Mama say "Can yall just get along" which then make us calm down and rethink. I totally get it. BBlessed

[afunkydamsel]

I'm happy for you and the experience you had with your family...and thank you for sharing it with us.

[PrettyMeanGumbo]

This is wonderful,Girl!

[junesjurney]

"you know" "or whatever" "right" lol love your accent. glad to know youre reconnecting with family. Great way to start off the new year.

[aaroncarbarron]

awww your smiling from ear to ear seriously cute ! :P



[ddmckenzie]

your fam sound like mines....our family time is like that ... i truly understand.

[CYNSTER1]

What a great way to get back together with your family. I hope you all continue to get togethere monthly

[GodsButterflye]

I am glad to hear this Selima! Family is important. 

[mzkeke2323]

This is really nice. I don't know if this is the first time you actually invited them over. Maybe open your house up more for time and maybe they will get used to you relationship and begin to accept it. I really want to know if you had ever invited them over to the house. Let me know.

[cattorl37]

maybe 2012 has changed ppl keep giving it a whole hearted effect fam is always fam

[juzadiva]

That was very good to hear.

[Mississippihoney]

I am so happy for you!

[trevortni07]

That is wonderful...2012 is looking up.

[ladytzcd]

l am happy for you we all need family support.

[Dmakeme]

Girl... Thx you for sharing! It's work!

[ThePoeticflava]

Trust me I understand my mom has always supported my lifestyle, however them other MF not so much so I really don't have ANY communication w/them...It must have felt really good to get together with them however akward..Good vid Chick!

[everlastingcurves]

That's beautiful Selima!! Y'all don't have to be close, but the lines of communication are open and anything's possible from this point. = )

[GISTME07]

GIRL I UNDERSTAND FAMILY DYNAMIX CAN BE CRAZY SOMETIMES.BUT THAT'S REALLY GREAT BECAUSE FAMILY IS IMPORTANT.

[TheKasha1985]

That's wonderful. What a way to start the year! Things take time and healing takes time but at the end of the day you guys are family. Every family has their issues it's just the way you handle it.

[dimple76]

That's great. Hopefully things will continue to get better between all of y'all. What's the age difference between all u sisters? I have 2 sisters & could never imagine denying them as my sisters.

[starsflirt]

That's wonderful :)

[minnpam]

I missed your videos but totally understand what you are going thru. I have drama like that too and it takes a minute to re-group. Peace.

[mslovey1231]

I'm happy for you. I know personally my family was estranged for a very long time and the reason was partially my fault and also their fault but my partner was the the one who got us together. She basically told the family about us and showed them she was in my life to stay. They love her and for that I'm so grateful to her.

[Curvesohyeah]

Sis, so glad that you and your family could sit down & share quality time together, life's too short.

I hope it continues, especially for the kids sake. Everybody got some sort of disfunctional crap in their life, some try to hide it some don't!

[jhall2033]

It's always good when family can get along. Congratulation on new beginnings!

[mstresedenae]

God is doing something in your family so just go with it don't let it be the last time yall get together we don't have to agree on lifestyles and religion but we can still love each other...family is important feel me????

[Spicylilsa6]

Yay!! Thats great, maybe that was your sisters new years resolution to make more of an effort. None the less, I hope yall can continue to nurture your relationship and allow it to grow from there. Good seeing you, take care babes.

[nanaye28]

im so happy 4 u :) this is a wonderful start 4 your 2012! enjoy this moments

[AndreeaLEO86]

that's a wig? O.O I thought that was your real hair! the hairline looks so natural.

[ahbuzz64]

Its times like this you need to hold on to and just let the rest stay in the fog. Family is all that there is in life. (my family is the same) stay beautiful!

[fall4daeyez]

I'm glad you shared that.. But I can write a book in how dis functional my family is lol

[ANGELAFUSSEY]

Just enjoy them feeling. Familyis always there even when they don't like us. I'm so happy for you right now. Good luck and God bless.

[grandeuress]

ahhhhh the function in dysfunction is busting loose. congrats. it gets even better

[traiskin]

Yeah, families can be the best and worst of times. Whoa, that's a wig? I was sure that was your hair.

[mzkwan]

You know kids love you when they rub on your fat or tittie meat! LOL I call them "luv rubs"!!!!

[learningtoluvme74]

AWWWW THATS WONDERFUL

[iliciaq]

*hugs* Girl. Happy for you that you actually got that... thanks for sharing. Loved this video. Love you!

[ursulas2002]

This was a great way to start 2012! I hope that your relationship with your family continues to grow stronger.

[RssllElz0504]

Glad you are back always enjoy your videos!!

Yea families are a mess!! It is wonderful to be ably to have family in one location & it be enjoyable & drama free! It is good for everyone! I glad you enjoyed the Quality time & hope you guys stick to once a month

[EbonyAbraxas]

wow.... there is hope. i am in a similar situation with my family and I gave up.

[msredwun]

Qualametria!?!?!? Out of respect for you and your moment of happiness, I'm going to leave it right that.....smh

[cuzitsnecessary]

well that's great, selima! nice to know your family is finally making an effort, love stories like this. :)

[saniray20]

Nuthin like family, I hope it continues to go well! Thank u for sharing.

[MsCDCN]

That's real nice. I can tell, it meant a lot to you for them to come over to eat. Hopefully, the dinners will continue which will allow u all to grow together more as a family. Wish you & urs the best! :)

[shoejunkie804]

I am happy fpr you qll, especially the babuies!!!!

[honestybytoni]

Selima, what lipstick are you wearing? I LOVE IT!

[gabrown31]

WoW ..So glad everything went well ..I hope my Family can get to this point ...so glad you shared this didnt know you was Fam : )

[XrayBaby007]

Your family aint no different that anybody else's we all got stuff going on. My brother and sisters havent been together in years. Its great you guys are getting along. I know that makes your mom happy.

[eajaye2u]

Your Moms and them love you and are learning they need you in thier lives. Thank God! Happy for you :)

[lov3rbox]

1. In the words of Sam Cooke...."Its been a long time comin, but I know a change is gonna come"

2. Awe, that was beautiful.

3.Thanks for sharing!

[caramelsunday77]

Selima I am soo happy for you. My sister came out a year ago and it was hard at first to understand. But I learned that I couldn't live my life without having a relationship with my sister. When I say I did not understand, I mean she was married with kids, like me. But deep down I always suspected it. Watching your videos and tags of you and Asia has schooled me of the normalcy of lesbian relationships.

[breakvideofilmer]

or whatever.... nice vid

[lisakat2011]

it sounds like it was very uplifting for you and a new beginning for you and your family. i am so happy for you !!! i always love your videos .. your friend in florida, lisa

[CYRINTHIA212]

sista gurl im so happy that you enjoyed your family for dinner i hope you all get together again :)

[BLADETASA]

We missed u. Glade u back.

[janeblow80]

I'm happy for you!!!! This is a great moment in your life. Your family is starting to except you for you. And that's always good.

[babyphatdiva33]

Aww that is so nice!!

[joanx5]

Baby girl, you just described me, without the relationship part. Coming out was hard for me, and I can't even imagine you, since my parents were raised as Catholics ! I was shitting bricks when I did it ! Love, and God Bless. And I'm so happy for you and your family, seems like they're finally showing some progress <3

[JazzySensation67]

You look marvelous and that ring is bad...Im glad you had a great day with your fam...Wishing you many more to come!

[elizondox3]

That is awesome Hun and I have missed your videos! :)

[monimom3]

That is beautiful. There is nothing like family love. I am glad you and your family are growing past your differences. =0)

[Ris123451]

Thank you Selima for sharing. I can feel, even through your smiles and shining eyes..that there is a certain sensitivity present, with this WHOLE family/sibling/mother get-together. Your heart cares for them, and you still love them. No matter what you are doing, not doing, dating, not dating, wither it is heterosexual, gay, lesbian love, they SHOULD love and continuing caring for you! GOD is doing something GREAT...though sometimes, we can not see the complete picture. Keep keepin' on<3

[ShannR414]

@Ris123451 VERY WELL SAID.

[BellaDonna0912]

I'm glad you enjoyed time with your family/love ones!

[trendy76]

Sounds like someones niece is just like her auntie..lol"Smart ass"! So glad you got to spend time.If you don't get to do it once a month then at least during special occasions like easter,xmas,4th of july if just for a snack or coffee and dessert.Family is so important.

[mommaduks67]

That is soooo great. Just take it for what it was. A great dinner with family. God said you had to love each other not like each other. All families have issues. I have sisters also that I don't have a relationship with but whatever. The people who love you will always be around.

[suthernbella]

Aww! That's awesome, Selima! Family is definitely important. I'm so happy for you. :-)

[nutz4beauty]

It's a start, a little at a time. You can see the joy in your eyes. Good to see it there.

[QueenieB2fine]

That's a beautiful thing

[TheFoxyja47]

GREAT VIDEO. I LOVE THIS

[teaundra]

It's great to finally break bread god was working on her heart

[njoyelife]

That's so great! I'm glad you guys got the opportunity to sit and break bread. I lost my baby sister 2 years ago and what I wouldn't do to have her back, if just for a second to just hug her one time! I hope that you and your family can mend enough to continue to share time together and to enjoy each other! Awwwww muffin! This made me smile! I was getting ready to hit you up on FB cuz I was missing you on YouTube!

[MercedesGames]

...my niece...she's just...she's just soo ..smart...she's so smart...---She's a smart Ass is what she is...:D:D

***

It's good you are getting closer..Sometimes ppl wait...or they think they have all the time in the world..

Then, something devastating happens..and that brings them closer..But then you're in an awkward place..It's nice to see you guys doing this now..and hopefully your family..will continue to stay and remain close..and just let the past..be the past..:)

[thshouseisntahme]

That RING IS THE TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MSM72685]

That's great Selima! I actually went to vist my great grandma this weekend with my mom and we (me and mom) got alone the WHOLE trip. We usually have a 1 1/2 day tolerance limit....we went to the movies together and all. It was the first time I enjoyed being with her for more that 2 days! I look forward to more times like that.

[LBULERIN]

Seems like their starting to accept your lifestyle, which for Christians is a hard thing to do. You sound like your in shock still:) LOL. My cousin goes through the same thing with my family. I feel like FAMILY should always accept you, flaws and all. It's sad that some family members can be so cold. I am happy for you and think you and your family are on your way to repairing your relationship. People need to stop being so dayum judgmental!!!

[lbjbcominganume]

Happy for you girl. There is nothing like family so I'm glad for you that relationships are being mended. I think God is working it out.

[AmourInfinity]

Selima, I appreciate you letting us in your life and sharing with us what's been going on in your family. When my sister passed last Easter you really helped me deal with the disconnect between my sisters and how I am going to deal with them. I'm just glad that you all had that chance to share that day together and I pray that there will be plenty more of them.

[babylewenski]

I'm happy for you..I bet you feel as tho a weight was lifted from your chest that day. It feels good to "come home" as some would say. Just reconnecting with family

[10versus]

ding a bell just went off you want acceptance it wasn,t crazy you were shown things everything has a season this is your season and you must be the bigger person and they are not ashamed just wanted you to be better and the person i see and you know you are at the end of the day those are your sisters and mom push the boulders out the way and make it happen

[day1993]

Glad that you and your family got a chance to talk and have a good time.I'm am really happy for you.Best wishes-Dajuan.

[FluteStar09]

Ahaha isn't family just great. LOL. Girl I hear you. What's that saying? You can pick your friends but can't your family.

[Yourpleasure721]

I am happy for you

[rmbb10]

Just wonderful indeed; family is important and without it u can be lost.

[msmjcandance75]

I LOVE YOUR HONESTY AND I AM SO HAPPY YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND FAMILY WERE ABLE TO HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT TOGETHER.I THINK THEY WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!!!

[carol9170]

I'm so happy. People don't always realize it, but family is important. I hope this is the start of many more happy moments with you and your family.

[msmjcandance75]

CAN YOU DO A VIDEO OF YOUR MAKEUP SETUP WHEN YOU FIND THE TIME. THANKS YOU LOOK PRETTY!!!!

[ginaginaize]

I pray that is the beginning of alot more Sunday get togethers. Best Wishes!!

[monique1580]

That's so good! God is so good!

[lyfeluvdrama]

Girl....that is called your family growing up.....no matter what age. I know what you are talking about. God is great! Happy for you!

[aderonke]

love you Selima :))

[MsJuicybabee]

Praise God. Sometimes I guess ppl finally realize that at the end of the day you guys are family and nothing can change that relationships,jobs,where you live etc etc.... Im so happy that you guys were able to sit down like a family. God is good!

[Monique39ify]

Selima that is a blessing...love out weights all b.s. you are their family and blood thicker than mud !

[L3z420]

I fully understand girl cause me and my family arent close at all . its really only just me and my mom . If me and my "fam" would of got together i would of be hella thrown off aswell. acting all kind of confused... So i get you ... glad you had fun

[Denverchoco]

Selima, your sister gave you a wonderful gift! I think know what you are taking about... you were thinking "PLEASE OH PLEASE" don't let anyone say anything crazy or donkey that would have the good china getting broke! and it is worse when there is a little strain in the family! I have a feeling there will be many more lunch/ dinners for you.. this was so positive for you~~

[tturner1041]

Omg I missed you, I'm so happy for u and your family it almost made me cry becausee as a transgender woman I don't think my family would ever get along with my boyfriend.

[okattoncel]

Great story..Count it all joy. There are better things to come.

[teena211]

It sounds like it was a beautiful Sunday Congrads!

[cateye38]

I can tell that dinner really touched you and that is nice to see

[Shakimas]

"christian" folk need to learn okkk.. you dont agree... hate the sin not the person...... happy for you boo

[KbeeTv]

I totally understand where you are coming from. Your situation sounds very similar to many of us in the LGBT community. I have been with my girlfriend for 4yrs and my mother half ass speaks to her anytime she sees her.It's rude, not to mention uncomfortable. But getting back on track, I can see how this get together could be a big deal for you, and a breath of fresh air.. Hopefully you guys can have more times like this this in the future :)

[downsouthdiva306]

Thank you so much for sharing! I feel that most families including my own has issues but it is so good to see us get past that and spend quality time together.

[Mschic4cheap]

see how god works....god is good

[LRennaeD]

Glad you all enjoyed! This made me smile! I'm all for unity! Especially, amongst family! :o)

[PHAT4LifeTV]

LOVE DAT BLUE! DAT'S MY FAVORITE COLOR. GOOD LUCK ON UR FUTURE RELATIONSIPS W/YA FAM! ♥

[thereturnqueen]

I LOVE it, and I knew exactly how you feel...glad it seems that things are working out for you and your family...Lifes too short, and time is waiting on no one. It's like here today and gone tomorrow. So don't sweat the small stuff!! =}

[karmalqt]

awwww im so happy you guys got to spend some quality time with your family. I think that your family does respect aja because you guys have been together for so long. I know what you mean though. Sometimes you have to love family from a distance.

[ThesPNation]

gurl if you say "whatever" one mo' time...LOLOLOL that's how i like say "like" like all the time! smh lol

~sP

[CoffeeConversations]

I understand and I am happy for you!

[RandomHelena]

Whodafukdislikedthis???
