Have you ever had a life experience that was extremely life changing? Well, I have and you best believe when I tell you my life hasn’t been the same since. Can you picture living without your mother, the lady who raised you, took good care of you, birthed you? Well, I had to go without her at an early age and it has taken a toll on my life.

She was so amazed at me but as I was looking at her; I was trying to fight the tears from falling. I didn’t want to let her see me sad because she was already suffering. She told my sister to take care of me. I knew then that she knew she was about to leave
