Dear mama, I love you. Those 3 letters mean more than just a feeling when it comes to you my Queen. A year has passed, a year I still think about, a year without you and to be honest mom, it's just not the same without you. Instead of dwelling on the heartbreaking part, I want to dwell on the joy, happiness and love you brought into our life. You taught us so much and I still highkey brag about you because you were and still are such an incredible woman.
Thank for everything. Literally everything. You and Dad gave us everything we ever dreamt or wanted. You guys taught us more than we realized we needed.
I remember how you sat me down when I was around 7 or 8 and taught me about women and how as a man I should never think I'm better than a woman in this world. You taught me about loyalty, respect and faithfulness. You taught me faith. I grew up to be 32 now and i still hold up the morals and values you taught me as a child. I thank you...and theres nothing my brother and I want more than to make you and Dad more prouder of us than you already are/were.
Last year...July 18 2020, we lost you to natural causes. It doesn't change the fact that when I got that call, it shook my world. I'm still, till this day, recovering from that. However apart from that, what I truly want to say, is what i truly love about you.
I love your grace, your charisma, your confidence, your advice and how we should never think that the world is black and white, how you dealt with racism and taught us about racism as black men in this world....& then some.
You had 2 sons, and I, that you and Dad groomed to be great men. Thank you mom. Thank you for loving us, for going through struggles and for just being you. Dad cries about you sometimes, I can tell even if he puts on a brave face. He talks about you and how you were the love of his life and he would never re-marry. I want that kind of love.
You built us, you showed us the world beyond this continent. You changed nations while giving your family more than the universe. You mom, are my icon, you mom are my legend, you mom, are my forever SHERO.
I truly love you, FOREVER AND EVER.
Rest in eternal peace my Queen. ❤
