I Love My Momma

Yo FB what's good I hope everyone had a great Christmas Holiday. This was by far my worst Christmas ever, this Christmas eve my mother had a stroke. I was caught way off guard by this since we just spoke Sunday night. It was all good. She's honestly the healthiest person I know. So I couldn't figure out how this happened.

I'd really appreciate if you could send prayers and positive thoughts to my mother. I'm normally a private person but I honestly don't know what else to do. Its crazy how much life can change in an instance. I'm heading to New York in a few to help with recovery and just support her. It could have been a lot worse so I'm extremely happy she is on the road to recovery. Just had to get this off my chest.
