Had I known that last text you sent the morning of the afternoon you passed was your last, I may have done better. I have consoled myself with the knowledge that you tried to escape, even though love kept taking you back. And then it finally took you. Go Sbahle, take care of your last born. She couldn’t be without her mommy.”
