    I picked up the phone to call u
    As i dailed ur # I had to stop
    Reality set in like a muhf@cka
    An' the tears began to drop
    Been a minute since i last talked to u
    An' still ur my best friend
    Always kept it real when i'm concerned
    U had my back until the end
    I still see u in the kitchen
    Cookin and givin' me advice
    An' u'd give it to me very bluntly
    Than kindly ask me to check the rice
    We had mad fun 2gether
    U wuz at all my volleyball games
    An' when i played in college
    U wuz in the stands screamin my name
    I told u the second i lost my virginity
    Not knowing if I should
    But u looked at me an' said,
    "Well baby, wuz it good?"
    U loved me unconditionally
    Regardless if i was good or bad
    If i was good...then shyt wuz good
    If not....u'd get muhf@ckin' mad
    But now i need to talk to u
    S i close my eyes an' start to speak
    An' pray my words r long enuff
    Cuz u linger far beyond my reach
    My life isn't going so good
    I'm stuck in somewhat of a spot
    I think i'm movin' forward
    But in reality i'm not
    I admit I did'nt help any
    I made some terrible mistakes
    But i've always been honest an' true to myself
    An' i always give more than I take
    So i'm askin' u to guide me
    Help me get over this hump in tha road
    Help me make it through this thing called life
    Please help me lighten the load
    Dayum yall its killin' me ta write this
    Tha tears from my eyes are flowin'
    Cuz when I open my eyes u won't be there
    Something i wuz already knowin'
    Then I realize i'll be aaight
    Cuz i see ya everyday
    In ur 4 grandchilden that i gave u
    That.....will never go away
    I've never met any woman
    That held it down the way u did
    An' i'm gonna hold it down too
    I gots to...... i'm ya kid
    There's nuthin' more I can say
    Except THANK YOU for bein' the realest bytch i've ever known
    I'm eternally grateful to be part of u
    One love, moms....see u when i get home



    RIP, I LOVE U
    MARIE VICTORIA KELSEY HARRIS.........2/7/49----12/18/95

    Jesus Christ, I knew where that was going and the ending still hit me like a punch in the chest.

    Very powerful........
    Very real
