Back in January, I wrote a post titled, On Selfishness, Birthdays, Death and Motherhood. What I realized, after receiving much feedback, is that the post was really meant to be a spoke word piece. Readers needed to become viewers and listeners. Emotion is often conveyed better through visual and auditory media.

So, I offer you a more complete version of my story. This is dedicated to all of my sisters who are also motherless mothers.
