WHAT IS A MAMA'S BOY" I CANNOT ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU BUT ONLY TELL YOU BABY, WHAT VICTOR LEON BRABBLE JR MEANS TO ME. OH SWEETIE, ON SEPTEMBER 4, 1988 GOD SENT ANGELS TO SEND ME A PRECIOUS HEALTHY BOY. YOU WERE SO SPECIAL THAT THE ANGELS DID NOT LEAVE YOU WHEN UU SLEPT, THEY WOULD TALK TO YOU. YOU USED TO SMILE AND LAUGH IN YOUR SLEEP ALL THE TIME. EVERYONE THAT SAW YOU WOULD WONDER WHAT THE ANGELS WERE SAYING TO YOU THAT MADE YOU LAUGH A LOT. ONE OF THE ANGELS MUST HAVE LEFT YOU THEIR HEART BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HEART OF AN ANGEL! SOME OF THE KINDEST MOMENTS I CAN REMEMBER OF YOU WAS WHEN YOU GAVE SOME OF YOUR SHOES AWAY TO AA YOUNG BOY BECAUSE HE DID NOT OWN A PAIR OF HIS OWN. YOU DID NOT ASK ME IF IT WAS OKAY, INSTEAD, YOU FOLLOWED YOUR HEART. YOU TOLD ME THAT THE YOUNG BOY WAS SO HAPPY. HE WORE A PAIR THE NEXT DAY TO SCHOOL. WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE, YOU BROUGHT HOME A DEAD FISH AND A DEAD DUCK AND YOU WANTED ME TO BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE. I TOLD THAT I COULDN'T AND YOU CRIED BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THEIR MOMMY WOULD MISS THEM. I REMEMBER FOR CHRISTMAS YOU WANTED A PAIR OF TIMBERLAND BOOTS AND YOUR GRANMOTHER, MEME, GAVE YOU MONEY SO YOU COULD BUY THEM. YOU WANTED TESE BOOTS FOR A LONG TIME BUT INSTEAD OF BUYING A PAIR FOR YOURSELF, YOU BOUGHT ME A PAIR FOR CHRISTMAS. I OFFERED TO BUY YOU A PAIR BUT YOU REFUSED BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME. YOU WANTED ME TO KNOW THAT IT WAS A GIFT FROM YOUT HEART. YOU WERE ONLY THIRTEEN YEARS OLD EVERYTIME YOU WENT OUTSIDE TO PLAY, WOULD ASK YOU,"WHAT TIME ARE YOU COMING BACK/" YOUR ANSWER WOULD ALWAYS BE "WHAT TIME DO YOU WANT ME TO COME HOME?" WHEN YOU WENT TO A PARTY AND WAS GIVEN A CURFEW, YOU ALWASY COME HOME EARLIER THAN THAT TIME. WHEN YOU WERE IN NINTH GRADE, YOU DIN'T EAT LUNCH FOR A WEEK BECAUSE YOU GAVE YOUR LUNCH MONEY TO A DOWN SYNDROME FOUNDATION FOR BABIES. YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT BUT WHEN I FOUND OUT, I ASKED YOU IF YOU WANTED EXRA MONEY TO DONATE TO THE FOUNDATION. YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE MONEY BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO DO IT FROM YOUR HEART. IT WAS AVERY HARD FOR ME WHEN YOU MADE THE DECISION TO LIVE WITH YOUR FATHER. YOU TOLD ME NOT TO CRY. YOU EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I MIGHT NOT SEE IT NOW BUT YOU WERE DOING IT FOR ME. YOU WANTED TO DO BETTER IN SCHOOL SO THAT YOU COULD TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOM AND THAT THIS WAS ALL FOR ME. AND I KNEW I HAD TO LET YOU GO. I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH SINCE YOU LEFT. I HAVE OFFERED TO SEND YOU MONEY PLENTY OF TIMES BUT YOU'VE ALWAYS REMINDED ME, "NO MOM, I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE ON MY OWN." YOU HAVE BEEN DOING GREAT SINCE YOUV'E BEEN THERE. YOU MADE THE HONOR ROLL AND GOT YOUR FIRST JOB, YOU STILL ATTEND CHURCH ON YOUR OWN AND KNOW GOD IS FIRST IN YOUR LIFE. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, BABY. NOW THE DAY HAS COME FOR ANOTHER BEIG STEP IN YOUR LIFE. I KNOW YOU WILL DO WELL WITH GOD'S GUIDANCE. NOTHING CAN GO WRONG AND THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU WILL SUPPORT YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND A MOTHER COULD HAVE NOT ASKED FOR A BETTER SON. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE A MAMA'S BOY! SO SWEETIE, NEXT TIME SOMEONE CALLS YOU A MAMA'S BOY, TELL THEM, ES, THAT IS WHAT MY MOTHER CALLES ME AND SHE IS PROUD OF ME! I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY AND BABY, I WISH EVERY MOTHER COULD EXPERIENCE THE LIFE I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH YOU. IF YOU WERE GIVEN A JOB FROM THE ANGELS, IT WOULD BE TO TEACH THE WORLD HOW TO LOVE FROM THIER HEARTS.I LOVE YOU, BABY BOY!THE REASON I PUT THIS IS YES IT IS SPECIAL TO ME BUT I HONESTLY DO BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD FOLLOW THIER HEART I CAN'T EXPRESS THAT ENOUGHT OF COURSE YOU MUST KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG BUT IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND YOU ARE A CREATION OF GOD THEN FOLLOWING YOU HEART IS THE RIGHT THING I ALWAYS EXPRESSED THAT TO SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO ME ALL THE TIME AND I PRAY THAT THEY ARE DOING SO, I ALWAYS FOLLOW MY HEART IT IS A GOOD GUIDE TO LIVE BY I LEARNED TO APPRECIATE LIFE MORE THAT WAY WELL GOD BLESS AND IF U READ THIS IT WAS WRITTEN FROM MY MOTHER TO ME,LOVE YOU MOM, YOURS ONLY VJ
