After the tears and all the shaking is done it's time to get back to business and being your son-I can remember bumping heads with you several different times. But keeping in the front of my mind your my number One. So many are saying they're sorry for my loss. And I'm kindly telling them it wasnt A loss it was an awakening, she seriously opened my eyes even in her death, she taught me something, enjoy life because it's not promised to any of us. And make peace to those you can. Momma I'm gonna always miss you, and stand strong like the King I am. And I got my Brother! He's gonna be fine…...
