'I miss your texts and calls so much' — Lynn Forbes misses AKA

Lynn Forbes says she especially misses her son Kiernan “AKA” Forbes' text messages.

Taking to her Instagram timeline, she shared a screenshot of a message she sent her son about being proud of the father he had become to his little girl Kairo.

“Today is really difficult. The hardest part is you have gone forever quiet on my phone. I miss your texts and calls so much,” she posted.

In her mentions her followers encouraged her. 

“This love was told, expressed, known and felt while you all were together. Amazing,” wrote one.

“The sadness of this loss is immense, mama. Our hearts are bleeding for you and all Kiernan's loved ones. There's not a post shared that my eyes don't fill up with tears. I still can't believe this has happened. With each day we pray that God almighty makes this a little easier. We love you,” posted another.

Remembering her son two weeks after he was laid to rest Lynn, shared a video montage of her and AKA's moments.

She opened up about what people have said to her while she is grieving.

“I miss you so much, Kiernan. Some days, I’m a warrior. Some days, I’m a broken mess. Most days, I’m a bit of both. But every day I have to be here standing, fighting, trying.”

She said the most helpful thing anyone has said to her during her mourning was: “Whatever you are feeling, and whenever you are feeling it, it’s OK.”
