Today my heart feels broken as I try to find the words to say goodbye to my godmother, my Auntie Lil and one of the most important people in my life. she wasn’t just my auntie. she was my rock. someone who was always there. always constant. always full of love.
From as early as I can remember, Auntie Lil was by my side. She supported me in ways big and small and she never once stopped believing in me. when I started my musical journey she was one of my biggest cheerleaders. it didn’t matter what i was doing—she showed up. Whether it was watching my livestreams or sending me messages of encouragement, she made sure I knew she was proud. that meant the world to me. it still does.
i can’t count the times her support kept me going. there’s a comfort that comes from knowing someone’s always in your corner, no matter what. that was her. she gave her love so freely, so quietly, but it was powerful. and it never wavered.
auntie lil had a gentleness to her, a kind soul that brought peace into every room. she listened. she understood. she cared in that deep way that stays with you long after you leave her side. losing her feels like losing a piece of my foundation. but i know she’s at peace now, and i find comfort in thinking of her reunited with uncle aidan in heaven. they’re together again—watching over us, smiling, laughing, full of light.
thank you, auntie lil. thank you for every moment, every hug, every word of encouragement, and every bit of love you gave so freely. i’ll carry you with me always—in my heart, in my music, and in everything i do.
eternal rest grant unto her, o lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
may she rest in peace. amen.
