"Jalillah please"
Holding her gently but firmly, Mo said to Jalillah in a whisper,
"I know you want to be strong, and I respect that but let me be your strength today, please".
Sensing her hesitation, Mo held up Jalillah's face, her eyes could not hide the grief she felt, and her lips trembled nonstop.
