God (for giving up His only Son and putting up with us on a daily basis), Jesus (for sacrificing His life for us) and definitely, my mother (my rock, my foundation, my inspiration, my best friend, my role model, my life), she raised me and my brother by herself. Her sacrifices made me the woman I am today. I could never repay her. I love you, Mommie! My fallen homie, Madinah. You had such an impact on my life in a short amount of time. You opened my mind and heart to things that I will carry with me for life. With that being said, your immanent spirit will always roll with me. I miss you. REST IN PEACE.
