“Dear Mama,
I hope you’re somewhere nice sipping on a Dr. Pepper with Tiny and Babygirl. I hope you and Richard are watching NASCAR. I hope you are rubbing papa’s head. I hope you are talking to Justin about his big brother. I hope this gets easier day by day. Thank you for never giving up on me and believing I would be somebody. Love you Mama forever and always!
Love, Madison”
