American University
When I was a student at American University, there was an off-duty police officer with a gun, but the students did not realize he was a police officer and reported him. Luis heard about the incident and was very concerned. He was the only employee from Capital One that took interest in this incident. He also told me that I was a good writer, and that I should write a book someday. It was a pleasure getting to know him.
Being a uncle
When I was pregnant the first time I told all my family that’s I was pregnant , everyone was so happy . Junior was still a teenager he was like Fatima I'm going to be an uncle . I told him you sure are . He was so happy and excited . I know that my brother always had a good heart . He was always about Family . A few weeks later
I lost the baby maybe I was 15 weeks . I was really depressed . When I finally told Junior . He couldn't really say anything I saw tears in his eyes made me really sad I hugged him and he told me I'm not going to be at uncle anymore it crushed my heart because he was so excited to have a niece or a nephew . I barely ever see my brother cry and when I did see him they crushed my heart . What teenager cries when a sister loses a baby because you know at that age you're in another world but my brother he was so concerned about me and the baby . I was telling him he's with God or she's with God now . All I remember was I hugged him for a long time and I told him sorry Junior . I will always love you little brother and I will always miss you
My Jacob
I always told you, that you were my Jacob from the twlight series. When my oldest chelsea was born you became so close to her. I I would tell him "did you imprint on my daughter"! He would just laugh.. When you would walk through my apt door I would be so happy! Yes! Finally get to have some peace time. (Mommy time) and actually I would talk to a grown up not to my babies lol. Chelsea would grab onto your leg and not let go! You would laugh and tell her how big she was always getting and play with her. You would go to the bathroom and she would stick her fingers through the bottom door and her mouth saying " are you done wuis? Come on let's play". You would just laugh and say " almost ". When it was time for you go it literally took another 30 min because chelsea didn't want you to leave. She wanted to keep playing with you. She would grab your hands and put her feet on your thighs and do back flips on you. And I would see you were already tired because she would want to do it like 100 times but you never stopped. All to see my baby smile you would do it. After the 30 Mins were up, you would say "damn time goes by so fast". And promise chelsea you'd be back to see her next time. I wish we can see you just one more time and play with you one last time. We miss you so much.
