The bond between mother and daughter can be one of life’s greatest gifts – and we certainly saw that in one pair from Homewood when we first met them nearly two years ago.
Since then, cancer has torn them apart. But as CBS 2’s Marie Saavedra reported Friday night, what the illness can’t do is stop the good work they planned to do together.
“I don’t give up because of her,” said Darnesha Evans. “I’m afraid to let her down.”
Evans never wants to disappoint her daughter, Kennedy Parker. We met them both in 2020, as Kennedy, 24, was bravely in her second battle with cancer.
They talked with CBS 2’s Lauren Victory after COVID-19 canceled Kennedy’s chance to meet her favorite performer, Omarion.
“It was just something to keep me going,” Kennedy said in the story that aired on March 19, 2020 – not long after the pandemic began.
