Your children are not supposed to die before you do. You held them in your arms as babies. You watched them scrape their knees with their first steps. You dreamed of what life would hold for them. You dreamed of them having babies of their own in your old age. You dreamed of their little ones at your knees.

None of this will ever happen for Trayvon's parents. As a mother, my heart goes out to you. My daughters are adults now. Trayvon will never be an adult for his parents.

As a mother, I cry for him.
