Although the words to the game where simple the symbolic meaning was not. In the beginning of the movie we see the sisters running through a field of purple flowers. They proceed to play the game and recite the lyrics, “Me and you, us never part. Makidada. Me and you, us have one heart. Makidada. Ain’t no ocean, ain’t no sea. Makidada. Keep my sister away from me.” These words provide us with a look into the future of the girls. The words represented a bond that would play out all the way through the movie. A bond that kept them together no matter the circumstance.
Before They promised each other that they would never be apart. They promised each other that no ocean or sea would keep them away from one another. They promised each other that they would always share the same heart. These women went through more then most of us can imagine in their lives and yet, they kept the promises that were made when they were still young girls. They kept the promises made by that childish game. The bond that they shared never broke. “You and me, us never part”
AfterNow I chose to make this my Monday morning topic because my sister is my Makidada. We've been there and we've done that, but in the end we always know that there will never be another like the other. She is programmed in my phone as Sista Ma~ki~dada and that is how we greet eachother. It started as a joke because that is her all time favorite movie. But like the movie, we realized that the meaning was so much more. This is her g-chat status message "just cannot live without my makidada I love you so much, dearly"... That makes me all warm inside!

MeGuess what, I love you dearly as well Makidada.. "ain't no ocean, ain't no sea..."

pull at my heartstrings why don't you!
When my great-nephew was a baby, I would play and sing in his ear during church services to keep him quiet. On one such occassion his father, noticing my actions and his son's reactions of smiling and excitement from across the church, ask me what were you saying to my son during service? I laughed and started singing the song from "The Color Purple", Makidada. Immediately his baby son started to react to my singing with smiles, laughter and hand claps. "Wow!" his father said, "he loves that". From that moment on I was given the nickname of Makidada but I never knew what it meant. My great-nephew and great-niece both call me Makidada (sometimes it is shortened to Kidada). Since these are my sisters' children and grand-children, the name has a very special name for me and I love it. Now other family members and friends, including their children, also call me Makidada. Thank You for sharing your story with me and I hope you and your sister will continue in the beautiful and blessed relationship you share; my sister and I share a close relationship also. God's love to all, Ruby "Makidada"
