Really miss you big homie. I wish you were here to talk sports with me on the holiday. you are the only one that have the same sports knowledge that i have in the family. everytime i wake up i see your blue fitted hat that jai keeps in our bed room, and i just think about how good of a dude you were. i hope that they understand you up there homie. i love you and miss you.
ACE AND I MET AT MY JOB. WE WERE INTRODUCED BY MY GOOD FRIEND SHAWN WHITE. IN THE BEGINNING I DID NOT LIKE POOKIE AT ALL. BUT HE WAS FUN TO DATE. WE TRAVELED WENT TO SHOWS AND DID VERY DIFFERENT THINGS. WHAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM WAS ONE DAY WHILE DROPPING ME OFF AT MY MOMS WITH SEVERAL GOWN MY OLD BOYFRIEND CONFRONTED US. MY EX PUSH ME OFF THE STEPS AND ONTO THE GROUND. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY ACE WAS NOT HAVING A MAN HIT A WOMAN. IN A SPLIT SECOND HE SAVE ME. HE NEVER THOUGHT TWICE....HE JUST DID.
WE WERE TOGETHER FOR 15 YEARS AND LIVED TOGETHER FOR 12 YEARS . WE HAVE A SON TOGETHER......WE CO-PARENTED AND RAISED HELPED RAISED HIS DAUGHTER TOGETHER. WE FOUGHT TOGETHER...WE CRIED TOGETHER....WE HURT TOGETHER.. WE LAUGHED TOGETHER....WE LOVED TOGETHER. HE HELPED ME THROUGH SCHOOL....I HELPED HIM COMPLETE HIS APPRENTICESHIP.
HE WAS MINE AND I WAS HIS. EVEN WHEN TIMES WERE HARD..WE ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS AN US.
I WILL KEEP ACEY IN MY HEART..IN MY PRAYS...IN MY SOUL...AND IN OUR CHILDREN.
I WILL NEVER FORGET THE LESSON LEARNED FROM YOU.
THANKS FOR SAVING ME.
Not sure why May 1, 2011 was the day your work here was completed and you were called home. That's something none of us here grieving your loss could ever explain or begin to understand. We are all struggling to be strong with knowing that we will not hear your loud voice, crazy laugh or see you walking or riding that bike all over Philadelphia. It hurts so much to imagine you not here, but Im ok with knowing that you are resting and walking amongst other angels.
Everytime I see pictures of you I am in awe. Still have not grasped this whole concept of not seeing you at family functions. Anticipating your late arrival with Keisha and Jaafir. I'm holding tight to the memory of you dancing with me at my wedding. And tearing up that chicken at Anne's repass. I want to laugh at those memories but my heart is heavy right now. I can hear your voice telling me, "JAI...YO JAI....GET IT TOGETHER MAN, DONT BE CRYING!"
You know I loved you, I made it known everytime I saw you and when I didnt see you for any amount of time I made sure to write you a note on FB.
Theres no one like you. Love you Cousin.
