“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.”

This is the month my son became a angel. July and August have always is very difficult months for me. He was shot 7 times July 4 at a holiday celebration and August he succumbed to his illness.

For 49 days and nights I slept in his ICU room by his side praying day and night for his recovery. Unfortunately on the wee mornings of the 22nd Jesus took him home.

I thank our Heavenly Father for the time he gave me to be with him but I wished for more time. I know now that it was all in his plan and I have accepted it. My heart aches for him everyday but Jesus has given me peace with his grace and mercy. I miss you baby boy so much and love you as much as I did when you were here.

I smile keep from crying my love. When you see me I don’t want pity. Mention my son Edwin Bakari with a smile. This will touch my heart. ❤️💕💝

This violence has to stop. No one talk about their issues today with words and compromise their differences. We are killing ourselves young people. Step back take a breath and solve issues without pulling out fi****ms.
One teenager is dead here and the other one badly injured from fighting each other. This must 🛑!

Praying for the families.

DEADLY GUNFIGHT: One teenager is dead and a young man has been rushed to the hospital after argument escalated to a shootout at northwest Atlanta home. police say.

People have asked me what's it like to live life with a deceased child because they "just can't fathom"... Well let me do my best to explain it in a way that can be understood.

It's being dead but still being able to breathe, barely.

It's like having your entire world thrown into a blender and mixed up to a liquid. Having your heart and lungs ripped out of your body so violently and never put back. Leaving a hole in your chest that will never heal and seeps pain, tears, anger, hate and regret.

It's like living in a dream that you can never wake up from, except it's a freaking nightmare. A life long freaking nightmare.

It's like having a large glass jar filled with happiness and you drop it on the ground and all the happiness blows away in the wind to never return.

It's like having a million people around hugging and loving you but you still feel completely alone. Going from having people to talk with to having not one person message or call anymore because they don't know what to say to you ... at all, about anything...

It's standing in the kitchen cooking food for the ones still here and crying so hard you can't see yourself burning the food.

Some days its falling to the floor, screaming so hard that no sound comes out and you run out of breath but don't stop screaming until you are hyperventilating and dizzy.

It's a a million little demons battling one single tiny angel in your brain, testing to see if youre strong enough or not to survive this.

It's like always trying to convince yourself that people want you around even though you feel like youre just a placement for convenience in this world and in people's lives.

Honestly. It's like knowing that your going to die eventually and embracing it with open arms like a long lost friend.

It's like this picture below of you holding on with everything you have and feel it all melt away.

No it doesn't get better. It doesn't get easier. You just learn to live, to survive.
