on sunday december 23, 2007 my mother died after having fought sickle cell anemia for 51 years in that time she lived a hard life having the one thing that brought her joy her six children taken away from her.She fought to get them back up until the day she died.For years I sought to understand why our family was put on this earth to be broken apart, why my mother was albino and sick, why I was hurt so many times and why I couldnt see her face in mine.There are many elements to this story including abuse,poverty,Rage and in it's earlier aspects racism.I will not dwell upon that however but instead, dedicate this next entry to the one woman that I have ever truly loved.its not realy an expert poem but, I hope you enjoy it.
