“FEAR. I️t is life’s only true opponent. I️t is fear that can defeat life. I️t is a clever, treacherous adversary. I️t has no decency, respects no law & shows NO MERCY. I️t goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. I️T BEGINS IN YOUR MIND, always.” pic.twitter.com/fT41j6rSRW

“First they killed Mel, Now Cancer has stolen you,” Alsina continued. “What is life? Why is life? Why is THIS life? I’m calling on God for the answers. I don’t question God but THIS I’m not in agreement with. After Mel left I was always pushing you and hard on you about figuring out life’s direction & purpose for yourself..encouraging your entrepreneurship with mostly my fear speaking. Afraid & wanting my nieces to see an example of hustle, drive, determination and confidence through you so that they’d follow suit as young women.”
He ended his post noting that “I have trouble accepting the fact that you’re gone, so it’ll be like we’re just going for a while without seeing each other Someday hopefully I’ll find you where you are, where Peace is,” he wrote.
“Please say hello to Melvin & hug him for me, & just ask God to cover the emotions of the girls and allow their hearts to be open, accepting and able to receive love…I’m a DAD now & I have 3 daughters, & i don’t know the slightest thing about it or where to start but unfortunately I/we know loss too well. Rest In Peace my dearest sweet sister..You made it out of this hell hole.”
