During this time of uncertainty in her life one thing that was certain was her love for AJ. She became the mom to all of his friends and treated everyone with dignity, love, and respect. She was always there to support, discipline, and advice no matter how many times she wanted to kill them. In this period of her life this is where she continued to develop her honesty, tuff love and tell it like it is personality. Reading the texts and notes from AJ’s friends during this time was truly inspirational and emotional. Everyone had their own story to tell but they all had the same theme. “ She wasn’t afraid to be brutely honest, but you always felt so loved”
