Behind many successes is almost always a great story bourne out of struggle and suffering. Many of the celebs we see on our screens and admire/envy have had tough childhoods.

Grace Ekirapa remembered her in a post on her Instagram page. She wrote:

I’ve always known me to be strong but this time I will just swim in my tears because of the void I feel without you around Mama. 18years today and it still feels like yesterday. I refuse to be strong just for today. I miss you soo much 💔.

I think anyone who has had a wonderful loving mother can relate to what she wrote above. I know I can.
