I lost my very best friend, Nakia Trena Mitchell on May 31st, 2018 at 3:49 PM. You fought so hard, Mommy, I know you did. I told you that I wasn’t going to be selfish and beg you to continue to lay in pain in that hospital bed. You cried but you still fought good. You’ve been battling this for two years and you still won because you’re with God. I looked at you as you laid in the hospital bed and God told me, “This body is tired,” and I said “I know.” as I cried. I’m at peace with you going because God knew how close we were and he showed me in multiple ways that you were leaving to be with him. As I prayed, he removed the tears from my eyes and hurt off my heart. I had 16 years with you and 16 more days after I cried in the ambulance and begged for God to allow you to stay with me just a little while longer. You were always big on numbers, just like your Mommy, and I know she greeted you with open arms. I love you so much, Mommy. Remember you always said, “When you lose your mother, you lose your best friend.” Although I lost you in your physical form, I gained you as my own Angel. “A woman’s job is never done”, remember saying that? You were so right because you will continue to be my mommy! That is a ‘job’ you will have forever because I’ll never stop needing you and I’ll never forget our conversations or the sound of your voice or how strong you are. You mean so much to me, Mommy and I’m happy you’re not in pain anymore. That’s why I’m able to write this without crying because I don’t have any hurt in my heart because I know that you’re in perfect health now. You will always be my best friend, Mommy. #CancerSucks
