“The
day she passed on was like an intense and vivid nightmare that still has not

Visiting her mother’s grave promoted her to
share a special message with her fans.

“This is where my mother rests. And the
most I can do now is to clean this cold surface that lies there in her memory. I
know she’s watching over me but I would love to have her back. I’d do anything.
For her to be back and my daughter to meet her grandmother. So, to everyone whose
mother is still around, please love and appreciate her. I’d do absolutely
anything to just make her a cup of tea. Even for her to shout at me.”

Hi Cubz. This is a part of my world I never share. But today I felt compelled to share a message. I see how people take their moms for granted sometimes. And my heart breaks. This is where my mother rests. And the most I can do now is to clean this cold surface that lies there in her memory. I know she’s watching over me but I would love to have her back. I’d do anything. For her to be back and my daughter to meet her grandmother. So, to everyone who’s mother is still around, please love and appreciate her. I’d do absolutely anything to just make her a cup of tea. Even for her to shout at me. The day she passed on was like an intense and vivid nightmare that still has not ended. I’m still waiting to wake up and tell her about it. I want to call her and tell her how he broke my heart. How I’ve met someone. What happened at work. Cook together. Laugh together. Cry together. But it will NEVER happen. So while you can. Make it happen. Enjoy her. Love her. Let her shout. Make her laugh. Spoil her. Love, Pearl.
