During an interview with The High Low with EmRata podcast, Kelly Rowland talked about her last conversation with her mom Doris Rowland Garrison. Garrison died in 2014 after a heart attack. She was 66.
Kelly said, “The last embrace I had with my mother was a really tough one. It was a lot of, like, tension there. It was time for her plane ride and we had this really bad argument right before and before she left, ’cause her car was downstairs. I remember my husband saying, ‘Give your mom a hug, babe.’ And I was like, ‘I’m not giving her,’ I was so mad.”
She continued, “And next thing I knew, I gave her this wack a– hug and the next call I got was two weeks later that she was gonna pass in like hours.”
On how her mom's death affected her, Kelly said, “It made me more present, it made me not want to hold anger or harbor anger towards anybody ’cause life is too short. It made me want to be honest with somebody and tell them how I felt in the moment, even if I’m mad.”
