Empty

Music

"Stole" by Kelly Rowland

Of Darlene Smith.

A woman who watched over me like a second mother. My fondest childhood babysitter died yesterday night.

My grandmother called my mother and told her but she didn't give the details as to what happened. My God, I can't even remember how old she was. She wasn't too much older than my mom. She's been on oxygen tanks because she was a heavy smoker once and it ruined her lungs. She lost both her dear cats after so many years. She was all alone...

So here I am. Once again. Sitting on the other end of a phone line realizing another piece of my life has wilted and broken off of the sapling tree that is my life.

I'll never forget you Darlene.

I love you.
