My Mother

My mother is a woman like no other,

She gave me life, nurtured me, taught me, fought for me, held me, shouted at me, cried with me and kissed my tears away, but most important she loved me

Unconditionally…

My Mother Ruby Mae Short

There are not enough words I can say to describe just how important my “mMother” Ruby Mae Short was to me, and what a powerful influence she is and will always be in my life.

Her loving son Salaam

G-Mom Ruby Mae Short was affectionately known, opinionated, and original.  She had a flair and style of her own.  Ruby Mae Short was truly a blessing to all she touched and loved, realistic as they come, truly a “gem” of a woman.  What are we going to do without “her”?  I know we thought we’d have her forever, and we will.  She’s in every song we listen to.  She’s in every prayer we whisper.  Family first is what she instilled, and that’s what we’ll continue to live by.  God took Ruby Mae home, in Him we must trust.
