Brice Johnson remembers his momma’s love every time he puts on his jersey
Posted Feb 17, 2016
A mother’s love for her son never dies, but now things are different. She was gone. It was Oct. 11, 2008. Brice Johnson would immortalize the day with his jersey number. “I don’t think a lot of people understand how much that really hurts to lose your momma,” Brice says. “I miss her every day, and then the other days, it’s like, ‘I really need her here right now.’”
