Another of the beautiful people I know is Angelique Lynch. I met her in Black Voices Gospel Choir at the
University of Virginia. The first time I
saw her, she was in the alto section helping teach the part. Of course, I was initially confused when she had
changed clothes and was also leading the song.
It took me a few moments to realize that she had an identical twin. But it didn’t take long for “the twins” to
become 2 separate people in my mind, despite their strong similarities.
Angelique, whose name also reflects her personality, is
something of an angel. She has a grace
and a child-like presence to her that is warm and inviting. There were many moments during our time
together at UVA that I wanted nothing more than to curl up near her and just be
(and most of the time, she would let me).
While she has a passion and a fire that can make her strong in her own
right, her power lies in the fact that she is a sweet, protective woman,
personifying the traits of a loving guardian angel. I have seen her grow and change as we have
known each other, but what remains is her heart for others.
So, happy birthday, Angelique.
I love you, and thanks for being beautiful you.
