I can honestly say when I read KeKe's Blog about her mother and everyone who responded, I could have cried my eyes out. A little over a year ago, I lost the only sibling I had- my brother who was at the time 23 in a truck driving accident. I also remember it like it was yesterday- about 2 in the mornin on Nov. 18, I woke up to screams of my mom down stairs. When I got down there, I saw a state tropper who broke the news to me with tears in HIS eyes. I honestly do not remember what went through my head, but I know it felt like my heart and soul was rip from me and replaced with something so unbearable I could stand. Its been over a year and I still have my good and bad days. But, recently I have been having dreams about losing my mother and being left alone. I wake up in tears when I have those dreams, I can not imagine losing someone as my mother. Every time she leaves, I pray I will see her again. When my brother died, I lost the only male figure in my life, my homie, my biggest supporter and fan and wanted to quit so everything. things werent so important to me, but when I think about how fragile a life is- even my own mothers, its something I feel like will break me down. the scarry thing is it's always being just the three of us and now, sooner or later someone will have to stand on their own.

hey, i read your blog n i can say that it truly hurt my heart. just continue to pray, there really isn't a way that i can say is to "move on", it's hard losing someone so close to you, sometimes you feel like it makes no sense to move forward, but you still have your life to live, n live each day as if it would be you last. make sure that you continue to pray for your family, and im sure that God will bless you in many ways.
