Byron Pitts’s Mother Taught The Power Of Family Before Leaving Forever

We are already familiar that Byron Pitts was raised by his single mother, Clarice Pitts. For seventy-seven years, she was the one in charge of her family.

Byron’s mother was a social worker by profession whose vibrant personality, and a great sense of humor always appeared as a father figure for Byron. Growing up, he saw his mother struggling to take care of the entire family without any complaint in her face.

But when she started suffering from Dementia, Byron witnessed her mother losing her personality which was an extreme pain for him as he had never seen his mother that way. Before leaving the world in 2011, for four years, her family was her army who took care of her.

Byron’s older sister, Saundra made a caregiving schedule where each of her brothers and sisters was assigned with a task to take care of their mother, a week at a time. Sadly, she did not survive for too long but as she left, the family bond grew even stronger and Byron thanks his mother for her last gift to the family.
