Dear Kanye’,

They don’t see your pain, but I do. I’ve been rocking with
you ever since you told me to walk with Jesus, to get on your workout plan and
that you’d never let me down. However, you’ve seemingly fallen short on the
latter, and you have let me down, more times than I’d ever like to admit. I
don’t like to make excuses for people, but I do know that what we’ve seen play
out in your life these last couple of years is a direct result of your Mother’s
death.
I’ve heard the critics and naysayers, weigh in on numerous
occasions saying that Yeezy, should have gotten over his Mother’s death many
moons ago, and that his rants and erratic behavior shouldn’t be placed on the
death of his mother. Well, guess what? They’re wrong!!!! There’s no expiration
date on grief, especially when that grief is tied to the loss of your Mother. I
know your mother, Donda West, was not only your direct link into the world, but
also your best friend, biggest supporter, and confidante. We saw Donda infused
in your music. We saw Donda grace the red carpets with you.

We saw ya’ll express
in countless interviews ya’ll love for each other. It was real, so real, that
when your Mother left this Earth we all felt it. At least I know I did. A shift
took place. There was a shift in your countenance, your behavior, and your
music. And it’s no secret that your Mother’s death shook you to the core.
So to all you Critical Carol’s and Negative Nancy’s,
understand this: A mother’s death can make you lose your mind. A mother's death can make you want to die. (Please refer to Bobbi Kristina Brown, if you
think I’m lying) Going on with life seems like such a chore, and if you do
decide to go on, it will never be in the same essence to which you lived
before. Kanye, I love you and I don’t want you to die. I don’t want your mind
to wander and you drift off to the dark spaces of your mind; where the void is
so great, you just want to disappear, because no one seems to understand. But,
guess what Ye’, I do understand. Please find joy in your memories and find
peace in the eyes of your children. It’s hard Ye’, I know it is. I recognize
your hurt and sorrow, but you must also recognize it too. Don’t bury yourself in grief, don’t
hide your grief, press through it, and most importantly don’t let those negative
thoughts overtake your mind. Be encouraged Kanye’, I love you and Donda does too, let her essence and spirit carry you through.
