A letter Nayah wrote to her mom 6 months before her passing.

Dear mommy, if you’re reading this then that means I’ve gone away. Don’t cry please. Im missing you just as much. I just wanna thank you for everything. I couldn’t thank the man above enough for providing me such an individual. Despite my attitude and anger, I looked at you as one of the most strongest people in the world. You inspired and pushed me to overcome things I never thought I could. You were everything and more to me and I couldn’t have ask for anything better. So don’t cry mom. You did your part. You played your role but above it all you fought along side me the entire time. I’m gonna miss you guys so much. I’m gonna miss waking up knowing that I have you all to look forward to, going to family functions, being with all my cousins. All of it. But as far as you mommy , I want you do everything we talked about . Travel, try new restaurants, visit certain colleges. Everything we wanted to do together , I want you to do with dad and the boys, but most of all I want you to be happy . Be happy for me please. Don’t shed anymore tears for me. I hated seeing you all sad and even with me gone I still do. I wish nothing but the best upon all of you . I only apologize for not being able to say I shared those moments with you. I miss you so much. The memories will forever stay within arms length. Everything you’ve taught and shown me will be in the back of my mind. I just want you all happy. Just as if I was there along side you. Especially you mom. Let go. It’s okay. If it’s Gods will, it’ll stay. I love you forever mommy. Be strong. Be happy . Tell my brothers I love them. Tell my dad I love him. I’ll miss you. Forever & always.

-forever your babygirl, Nayah💙
