AS OUR MOTHER

Dear Ma Words can’t express how I feel right now about this situation but I’m not going to be sad because I know you moved on to a better life. I thank you for all you’ve done for me since I was a lil bitty boy. I’m your oldest son, your protector lol I didn’t care who it was you come for her you come for me. The day after you passed it rained so much, and I shed tears joy knowing you crossed them gates. You are home now!!! You can rest in peace with nanny. I’m going to hold it down for you and make sure we stick together like white on rice. Everything still seems unreal but I will find peace in knowing you’ll be watching over us. We miss you I miss you so much and most of all I Love you. Until we meet again!!!-JACQ

Mother, I will always love you even though I did not show you enough, our times together were great, some of our times were sad but you always made the best of it for us-TABRIKA

My mother passed away on Mother’s Day and nothing about that feels fair. A day meant to celebrate her became the day I lost her. It’s a strange kind of pain-deep, quiet, and always there. I still catch myself reaching for my phone, wanting to hear her voice, wanting to tell her I love her one more time. People say she is in a better place, but the best place she ever was, for me, was here. Her absence is loud on a day that’s supposed to be filled with love and flowers. But even though she is gone, her love stays with me-in the way I speak, the way I love, and the strength I carry even on the days I don’t feel strong. Mother’s Day will never be the same, but neither will I, she shaped me, and even in her absence, she still does. Never thought I’d have to let you go I thought you were supposed to be here forever. I will try my best to continue to make you proud and I’ll try my best to stay around. I love you forever momma-DIAMAN JACKSON

Mom you really messed me up with this one like how I suppose to live in a world where my mommy doesn’t exist but ma I promise you me and Daedae is going to make you proud by walking across that stage. My mother was a young single mom raising five kids on her own working 2 jobs and even if she didn’t have it she always found a way for us no matter what but I just want you to know that we are going to be okay because we have each other and I know God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers! You are finally at peace now with Nanny I hope you are happy up there and I promise you we are going to make you proud!! Rest easy momma-JAMIAH

Ma not having anyone to call on or talk to when needing to vent get hard. I smile and act like nothing is wrong so others act the same as before when you were alive, staying up thinking you’re going to walk through the door, checking your location to make sure you are okay. Everything I do I wonder what Ma would say or how would Ma do it, not being able to hear your advice on how to do things makes life not worth living for. When I needed something or wanted something you were always there and pulled through no matter what by any means I love you Ma-LADAINIA

I love you mom because you are the best and I miss you-JAIDEN

AS A WIFE

Twelve years of love, laughter, and tears. We weren’t perfect but we were for each other. Our love was genuine and nobody can ever change that. I wish we had more time, but I will always cherish our memories. My wife, my friend, my lifetime partner, and my world I am definitely going to be missing you down here but I will never ever forget you. There is so much I want to say but you know my heart. I promise you we will all get through this together. Get your sleep my beautiful wife. I love you always and forever-YOUR WIFE
