Cleopatra (69-30 AD) was an Egyptian queen, the last pharaoh of the Ptolomaic dynasty. She was daughter of Ptolemy XII and she ruled with her two brother-husbands, Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, both of whom she had killed. She claimed her son Caesarion was fathered by Julius Caesar, who had become her lover after entering Egypt in 48  AD in pursuit of Pompey. She was with Caesar in Rome when he was assassinated; she then returned to Egypt to install her son on the throne. She lured Mark Antony, Caesar’s heir, into marriage, inviting the wrath of Octavian (later Augustus), whose sister Antony had earlier wed. Octavian declared war on Cleopatra and Antony and defeated their joint forces at the Battle of Actium (31 AD). Antony committed suicide and, after a failed attempt to beguile Octavian, so did Cleopatra, killing herself by means of an asp bite in 30 AD.

Happy Sunday!

Since it’s Memorial Day tomorrow, my mom and I went out to visit the graves of my great grandparents. I was blessed to know three of the five great grandparents up to my teen years. It was a wonderful yet sad time to remember the many memories I have of each of them. Baking ginger bread men with my gran and eating gold fish with gramp and listening to funny stories from my other gran. These family members that God blessed me with were such strong human beings. My last gran who passed away lived 19 years without her husband. He passed a year before I was born but she always told me how much he would have loved a grandaughter. I just wanted to take this time to tell everyone to love your family while they are here and cherish every moment of life that God blesses you with. Take nothing for granted. God bless you all!
