It's cool to cry at anytime. But you can't be mad at your moms or anything, she did a HECK of a job setting the path of a beautiful, strong woman, so she did her job. Don't let her death be a burden to you; let it be a learning experience. Always remember her and never let her go. If you need someone to lean on or talk to, hit me up. We all need someone to share our tears with...believe me...I know. Keep your head up and never let yourself down...

Gosh you can always know what a person looks like on the outside but you never know what they are going through on the inside. I would have never guessed that your mommy was gone. no need to tell you to stay strong because you have mad it thus far, and I commend you on that. keep striving, keep blogging, and stay the beautiful black butterfly that you are...Peace, Saffiyah
