A Message From Her Kids

My beautiful mother, Know by many understood by few. Our mom was never perfect and she may have not always done the right thing, But she show each of us something that we can cherish for life, whether it was how to make a dollar or how to love one another.

Martha was a women of many roles in each of our life, to some a big sister, some a friend, a wife, and most importantly my mother so I say this, let’s not mourn today or even grieve, let’s celebrate the spectacle ending of a amazing women.

For she lived life to the fullest and never looked back. 

Mom I love you and this not the end.

Till we meet again.

So many words, so many thoughts, hard to think clear, they say we can multitask but the one thing I think is impossible todo is grieve and gather words together that will make sense to everyone else.

I know exactly how I feel but not sure how to express , so I’m going to start like this I’m bless to have you as my mother the moments we shared I will relive every moment of it the good and the bad you taught me something in life I don’t think any one on earth could of gotten me to understand. You taught me strength and god, showed me strength isn’t who stronger, strength is who can stand in the rain and build shelter from nothing, strength is when you can stand in the dark alone and tell yourself it will be ok.

God always played a major part of your life, which became a major part of my life. You were the best mother you can be and never left your kids side no matter the circumstances I know it’s not easy growing up in New York in the south Bronx with three bad ass kids ma but we love every crazy moments from the good and bad the single, double, triple ass whooping, to baking home made pizzas.

one thing you taught us and we can take wit us forever is “ A family that pray together stay together, All we got is each other, and don’t be scared to die for each other. Words of wisdom we can for ever live with and all though Me, Sky, and Dj go through how differences just know we will never stop loving one another cause all we really got in the world is each other and we forever going to stand on that ma. You raised three smart kids and we proud to live in you legacy ma. Can’t wait to see you in another life time ma have the best journey you can ma this your time to shine you the light you the glare ma shine bright.
