Today, June 2, we commemorate my mama’s death anniversary. I was 19 when we lost her to a congenital heart disease complicated by hypertension and asthma. She died at a very young age, she was just 44 then. But, I know she never wanted to leave us…she never wanted to give up, but she was too tired to bear it anymore. She was a gracious survivor, and I am so proud of her!
