Brenda's p.o.v

With all the recent racial hate crimes, I never imagined I would lose my son. A drive by shooting ended Kennedy's life. I recall he was walking home from the grocery store.

Since there was no father in the household, Kennedy provided for Maisie and me. He was just so young and full of great potential. He didn't deserve to die. Black, white, or

mixed like my children, all lives matter. California calls me back home. I hope my family and friends will receive me with open arms. I pray they can take care of Maisie if I

may succumb to breast cancer.
