Grandma was strong, loving, and in a lot of ways, the backbone of our family. When I was young, dad was away working overseas most of the year, so it was up to my mom and grandma to take care of me and my brothers. And often in my adolescent years, I used to give my mom a hard time. And grandma would always come to my room after and lecture me to stop giving my mom a hard time, because she knew things were already difficult on her, especially with dad not always being around. One thing she said I will always remember is that sons need to protect their mothers, and so i needed to protect mom and be good to her. And ever since that day, her words always stuck with me. ALWAYS PROTECT MOM. Anyways, thank you grandma for raising us to be the men we are today and for those wonderful years, and keeping our family together. And don’t worry, I will always protect mom. Until we meet again... RIP🙏🏻❤️🌤 #sleepinheavenlypeace #gonetoosoon
