A mother’s love
Hi, my name is Zoey Devonte and this is my story. My mother got pregnant at the age of 15 in high school. My father didn’t want anything to do with me and my mom’s parents disowned her. That’s when it all started, it was just her and I.
My mom tried to get a job but now and then she would get fired and would have to look for a new job. I go to Saint-Charles public highschool. I would help my mom with the bills every 2 months but it wasn't always enough, so we had to go house to house.
At the age of 15 I got a new job that paid plenty of money. My mom wasn’t proud of it at ALL. But it helped with the bills and school, so it worked out for a bit. By the way, before I continue, that new job, I was working as a gang member. One day, our gang had a store to rob and it was risky but it was worth it. I had to do it! It was for me and my mom, so we could happily live together.
The rob went successfully and we got what we needed, it was the aftermath that was bad news.
The people we robbed were dangerous people. People that would do ANYTHING to get their money back. They were going to pull up to my neighbourhood and start a fight. And it was true, they did come to my neighbourhood and start a fight.
The fight was intense, everybody was shooting and fighting. My mom saw what happened and she did the motherly thing to do. So my mom got her gun and got off the house to help. Once I saw her, I was furious. I tried telling her to go back inside, but she wouldn’t listen. When things started to cool down, Lorenzo decided to end it one way. He was going to shoot me, but my mom courageously came up and blocked him from shooting me. YESSS! The fight was over. As I turn around, I see my mother shot!
Struggling to breathe, I held her in my arms and screamed for an ambulance, but it was too late. Holding her in my arms, she shared her last words with me ; Promise me you'll get out of this life baby, ok?255Please respect copyright.PENANAXm0udz9F9X
And that was it, she was gone…255Please respect copyright.PENANAcwRTKSYzAq
Forever.
I am now 35 years old. I’m a successful broker, a great wife and a mother of 2. I still miss my mother and I share stories about her with my children. Oh, and Lorenzo, he’s locked up for life. I think my mom would be proud of the woman I've become, I know I am.255Please respect copyright.PENANAQdnON86b3X
