Melvin loved Jodeci! Right down to the Ki Ci walk!!!!!!!!

This song is dedicated to the memory of my nephew Melvin.  This song is a favorite of Melvin's.  Nikki I have been up trying to find a way to upload this song.  I know the effects of this song on you, because whenever I hear "U Remind Me" My heart soars cause I know my nephew is riding, walking, singing right along with me.  Enjoy this song cause Melvin sure did!!!!!!!!

My nephew and I were really close.  Fought like cats and dogs but we loved each other.  There had been alot of killings in New Haven (1990-1992) and I was sooo afraid for my nephew.  I went looking for Melvin and found him up in the parking lot on Valley Street.  We sat and talked for awhile.  I told Melvin how sad we would be if anything ever happened to him.  He told me, "Aunt Nici, nothing is going to happen" I told him his mother could not go on without him, we could not go on without him.  He just hugged me and we sat like that for awhile.  Two weeks later, my nephew was gone.  I thank God for the moments we shared.  He knew that I loved and cared about him.  I know he is up in there in Heaven with his homies, Harry Poole chillin and eating (my mama is up there too taking care of her grandson!).  Life is so short.  Life is painful.  I give my pain to you lord, heal our hearts.  Love you Mel.  Love you.  Aunt Nici
