FOREWORD
Family
Love, admiration, strength, and security are a few words that embody family, this institution that grounds self and unites us. It is a woven fabric that endures with great strength yet feels exceptionally fragile when it experiences a loss. A loss that is rooted in separation by death redesigns the once familiar structure of life without the current pattern.
My Mama, My Mama Slipped Away from Us captures the essence of the beauty, pride, and wisdom that is cultivated within the family unit. It asks the reader to treasure others, while building upon a foundation that will establish your inner will, as well as prepare you for the unraveling of life that is inevitable: death. My Mama, My Mama Slipped Away from Us pushes the reader past loss to the beauty of the family structure and the benefits of wisdom, love, and unity. This heartfelt account of a mother’s impact on the family nurtures the heart and encourages the spirit.
Pastor Coretta L. Sharpless
