Still grieving the lost of her mother while she prepares for a bone marrow transplant, anchor Robin Roberts spoke to her many fans via her Facebook page, expressing that she was able to be by her mother, Luciemarian Tolliver’s side when she died last week.

“My family tells me momma gave me one final gift as her last act. She waited for me to get home on Thursday to say goodbye.”

Robin had planned to leave Good Morning America last Friday, but headed out one day early to be with her mother.

“She was there when I took my first breath and what a privilege to hold her sweet hand when she took her last breath.”

Her treatment for the bone marrow transplant was scheduled to begin this week, but has been rescheduled so Robin could properly grieve, but she expressed that she knows her “momma will be right there with me” when she does.

Stay strong, Miss Roberts.
