REPOSTING FROM DeDivahDeals in 2012
- Today at 50, I’ve been a mother for almost 20 years
- My grandmother was 50 when I was born, she took me & my sis under her wing at the age of 57 and lived to be 98
- Mother’s Day will be bittersweet
- The parent of a 3-month preemie weighed a mere 2.5 lbs, not sure if he would live or die
- My God is Awesome
- I look in the mirror and see my mother
- Bore but did not raise me
- Died before I really got to know her
- Feared I would have to care for her in her old age
- Grandmother said in order to live a long life you have to treat everybody right and pray

- Not a friend but a fierce protector and provider
- Mother never saw her grandsons
- A mother of 2 black males – RIP Trayvon
