BabyGirl my SweetThang🩷🩷💔💔 My Phally-Girl spent the last 30 days of her life in the hospital fighting, having a conversation with God. She was tired. For 30 days she looked like she was just resting, she never did wake up and say, “Mama, I’ll be ok” . Yesterday I held her hand & rubbed her face as she peacefully took her last breath. Jesus……… 20 years just wasn’t long enough.
