In the early 80s, that was the beginning. Mama had me. She was definitely smiling. Finally, a boy. She was very very happy. She prayed for those with the love of her life eh. She called me grace, she called me blessing. She looked into my eyes, called me love of her life. I wish I could go back and feel what she felt, he wrote. But she goes on her knees and tells God what she felt. Love and miss you, mom.
This heartfelt post comes after the actor’s recent anniversary celebration with his wife, where he expressed his love and gratitude for her during their 13 years of marriage.
