I haven’t read your blog yet, but the title caught my attention and brought tears to my eyes when I read that you are PROUD mother of three. I lost my mom last year to HIV and am the middle child of three, all healthy. I blog about her almost everyday but seldom post them. When I pull myself together I will be back to read up all about A Strong Black Woman.
