Meet momma
How do you keep your momma with you even after she is gone from this earth?
Share her…
Momma was my biggest cheerleader and yet, didn’t know how to cheer for herself. She passed away from a slow suicide in 2013 at the age of 66. I was 33. Never diagnosed with anything, never wanted any help.
No one feels more alive on this earth as to when someone, anyone is loving them through it. Thank God for my Mom’s love, her tenderness, her letters, her scrapbook cut outs, care packages, countless car rides, the songs we sung together, her words of wisdom and her ever so unconditional cuddles when needed.
Growing up, I used to ask her…
“What’s the point of life?
To give back, my darling, to give back.”
Through sharing some of my mom’s and my story, we hope to give back to you, our audiences on screen or in person. May it sprinkle extra love and hope in your heart and give you some food for thought on the importance of taking care of your brain.
This is our mother-daughter love story.
This is our legacy with mental wellness.
This is for you.
With Love,
Momma and Baby Duck
Mom was huge on me sending hand written cards. I wrote this in 2003, I was 23. She died less than 10 years later in 2013. I didn’t know what was coming…
This card from mom was in 2007. I moved very far away from Mom at 18 to be a Rockette in Los Angeles. She came with me those first two months, but that would be the most time we would spend with each other ever again. She was in South Carolina. What kept our love a live in the beginning of adulthood were our phone calls every day, care packages in the mail and countless answering messages.
