To Jermaine ( A Mothers letter to her son)
Who would have thought when I got up yesterday, instead of waking up to your phone call "Mom what are you doing" , I would wake up by as of 2 Am this morning your son was pronounced dead. I was told that you didn't feel comfortable at a party so you guys left and now I'm left here to put the pieces together they have written it down as a homicide and they have the person who did it in custody. My heart is so torn yet again, I'm so empty. There is a comfort in knowing that you were meet in heaven by your great grandparents, Grandpa Roy Jennings, Daddy (Don) and your Godmother Rochelle. However my life here on earth will be forever changed, you were our JJ, the girls protector from the dogs in the backyard, Donlees backup when he needed someone to play with, or need something from the store, his ride to school, you where my ride or die when it came to the church road trips Mr "your not going out there without me when are we leaving? and make sure you're on time, don't try and leave me because I know where Granma lives. I'll tell grandma." To your friends you were so much, Oh my Baby what happened to you was not right and I will do what needs to be done to make sure this wrong does not get pushed aside. I love you Baby Boy rest now in the arms of our heavenly king. As the song says Just in case the Lord shall come and we can’t be together again. I'll meet you, meet you on the other shore. Rest Baby boy.
