that was my mother ..
ReplyDeleteRest in peace momma, I love u. I just wanted to tell u that I'm clean & sober. I got on meth real bad.. the stealing & fighting was out of control.. I chose the streets & they was my family.. I've been clean now for a year and a half. I dropped out of school but I got my GED & I'm in college now. God came into my heart & He delivered me from my past. I'm in love with Jesus Christ.. I love Him so much.. You'd be so proud of me.. I'd give anything to just call you one last time.. I'm sorry I wouldn't forgive u & I didn't speak to u for 3 years before u died..I forgive u & I hope u forgive me for wasting time.. I'm sorry momma.. I like your songs.. You had so much talent.. I'm sorry.. I miss you mommy ♡
ReplyDeleteWe may be closing this page soon, but I have moved this memorial to its new (and more permanent) place. https://starshiprecordings.blogspot.com/2019/05/female-southern-rapper-denise-ddat.html
DeleteYour mother was a wonderful woman that was tough, tenacious, and had a huge heart.
As her co-creator and producer, and long-time friend, I KNOW she would be both pleased and proud of the woman you've become.
Never stop seeking betterment, cos that's EXACTLY what our lives are about.
Come say "hi", so you can stay connected to where the memorial is placed for good, and I'll keep this up for you as long as I can.
-MJ
