Death Took You Away From Us

I woke up this morning hoping to hear the best for my Best cause we knew how much she was fighting… But we lost her. My heart is broken cause I consider how much of a beautiful person you were how your laughter made us laugh and just how real you were.

I remembered one of our recent, light conversation when you said your birthday was coming up. So we asked about your child and in our dialect you said “Inna mi husband back”. I chuckled so hard then you said “Johnson don’t be like me get married and have children” and responded “honey you have a long wait” and we continue on with our conversation.

When you got sick I thought you would be down for a day or two, and you would come back, telling us about your experience and we would get an insiders story and how it was for you. But death took you away. So here we are again, with broken hearts trying to figure out the next move like how do we look across the room now with the expectations that you will be there and not see you? Who do I pass on corridors and greet by play your names?

I hope you knew you were loved and hope you knew we never stop praying and hope your soul found rest.
