“I remember laying in bed super depressed,” she said. “I [told] myself, ‘So, you’re just going to go out like this? That’s wack. You have a daughter. If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for her because this is not the way to leave a mark in her life.'”
She credits Sy’Rai with pulling her out of the darkness she felt. “If Sy’Rai wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be either,” she said. “The place that I was in, it just felt like I wasn’t going to make it through.”
