Everyday I pray for understanding and justice.  Today I pray even harder.  Love you nephew. Rest inHis arms on your birthday baby.

There’s some things I wanna show you,There’s a lot I wanna tell you, i miss the days where i can call you and ask what we getting into when i come down there. we have did some crazy stuff that only me and you know about. Still remember when we was at ol girl house and we had to jump out the window cause her pops came. I talk to you every night bruh i hope you hear me. Thats the only thing that keeps peace inside me because i dont have anybody else to talk too. It hurts everyday to know you not hear bruh like it dont even feel real that you not physically here. It hurts the most when im around grandma and aunt vicky because i see how much they are trying not to show how they feel. Since you left bruh i been keeping  to myself and dont really talk to many people in school. When i come where you at we gon turn up ok bruh. I love you , I love You bruh. If you was here you would say stop being soft. but i miss you and hope we turn up soon. Love you bruh.

I have never known the joys of child birth, but I have known the wonderful feeling of helping to parent a wonderful child.  Coming home watching you and your Uncle Busta playing the video games in your little man's cave or sitting around the dinning room table telling stories about your adventures of the day while I was at work.  Spending time with you and Tee the summer you stayed with me in Columbia, was fun.  I am so blessed that I had those opportunities.  I love you my nephew, my son.  Couldnt have loved you any more if I had birthed you myself.  I wont ever forget you

I remember baby when I was at the hospital it was me and your aunt Gene. I was in so much pain. I ask the doctor whats wrong she took text than came in only to say Ms. Riddick you are pregnant I looked at your aunt Gene both of us saying you sure. Than they rushed me to ultrasound because I had been bleeding for days. The ultrasound technician said I need the dr. to come in that scared me more. As she set down looking at the monitor she turned it around and said Ms. Riddick you have twins but unfortunately you are miscarrying one and I am unsure of the other. The moment of shock happiness and dis belief all in a short period of time. After being in the hospital for over a week. And to hear her say the other baby is going to make it. You were a fighter than. That day I went to hospital for a scheduled c-section the whole family was there your sisters and brothers anticipating your birth. Hearing your first cry seeing that look on your dad face when he said to your Uncle Ricky I got me a white baby. Though I struggled afterwards to get my vidals together it was worth it cause on that day a miracle happen.The day I met my angel my baby boy.
Loving you  

You we're beginning to feel like a little brother to me in the short period of time we got to know each other. It's so strange how people meet and how life works. We didn't hang out every day but we actually been through a lot together than most people know about. Some things bad and some good but at the end of the day we had laughs. I guess that's what it's all about. I would have never met you if it weren't for Dairrus but now I could never look in his face and not think about you. Even at a young age you we're given the respect of an adult. You we're very mature and I believe that you touched everybody you came into contact with in a special way. I respect everything you stood for and I know for a fact that you inspired plenty of people. I've had a lot of love for your family since before you and I met so it was only right that we shared a bond also. I know as a brother you care about your other sibilings, but I'm here to tell you that they are not alone now that your gone. Your sister destiny, Your brother darrius, and the rest of your family have a place in my heart. I know your probably having the time of your life up there in heaven. So with that being said, I'll see you when I get there lil bruh. Thug In Peace. #G50
