Williams' shattering message about his late mother (pic)

"April 3rd is always a difficult day for me.. It's Been 3 yrs since I've heard your voice.. I remembered tearing my Achilles in 2013 before you passed and telling you I didn't feel I will ever play ball again since it was my 3rd huge injury in 3 yrs.. I remember u sitting up in the bed immediately saying "look here Elliot, you have my blood in you we don't give up!! I've been fighting cancer and chemo for 14yrs. I don't ever want to hear u say that again." That stuck with me and I know ur in heaven proud I'm still living my dream out. Love and miss you very much mom. Keep watching over me", wrote the 27-year-old former player of Santa Cruz Warriors.
