I was living with my Auntie Gina, and me trying to be slick, I challenged lil Edward to a bet:

Whoever learned the lyrics to Ludacris' song "Roll Out", First, would wash the other person's dishes for a week.  

That boy learned that song so fast you wouldv'e thought he made it up! lol

Needless to say, I was busting suds for 7 days on his behalf.

Its 2001, or maybe 02... 

Tacor 

He was like an angel. I don't know why he was sent to me, but I could never forget how handsome he was and those eyes, lips, how when he's hair wasn't braided he'd just walk around with it untangled . I met Edward in 2002 I was 14 and he was 15. I was walking to my then home(Parkway Gardens) and he was talking to someone & stopped me. I never saw him before till this day. It was so awkward he was so polite and I was attracted by how handsome he was. The next day he came to my house to see if I could come outside and we would just sit on my back porch and talk and talk. school begun the next week I was a freshman and he a sophomore . We both were born in the same year, but Edward was before September 1st deadline I was salty I was a freshman and him a sophomore lol we'd debate about how we were a couple months apart. My mom liked him he was like my first boyfriend if you'd want to call it. Back then kids weren't as horrible as they are today and he always complimented me on my outfits and  my looks.  He and I would talk on the phone while his little brothers would bother him, but I could never recall him being mean. He was always respectful to everyone. I told him I couldn't get my biology  class & he said since he had taken it last year bring the book home so he could see if it's the same one he had because they change the text so many years ( he was so smart ) next day I got off the king drive bus and he was waiting for me. Did all my work turned it in and got an A. We were good friends then my mom got a better job opportunity in MIchigan and I moved. We spoke on the phone a lot after , but eventually we lost touch. I think I spoke with him last in 2004 he said he cut his hair, but he could have been playing a trick on me.  I moved back to Chicago in 2012 and I've search Facebook, YouTube, everything looking for him. He didn't live in Parkway it was hard to find him considering the fact that, I never go to parkway any more so I figured I'd see him on Facebook eventually. Never in a million years would I have thought he was dead!  Last night I found a page of one of his friends and saw his picture and it said RIP ... I couldn't believe it. He had died back in 06 and I'm just now finding out in 2014. I can't stop crying because he was a sweetheart, he never bothered anyone and he had "Both" parents and you could tell they loved him dearly. His siblings too! I was so excited to touch base with him to see if he had kids, graduated etc. Just catch up! My heart hurt because he really made an impact in my life & he was my handsome angel who was smart... I regret I had to move now. I was looking forward to catching up on old times and him having good news for me on his life and where he's been cause I had some stories for him, but now all I can do is cry and write on this wall. I wish someone would have told me so I could have came and payed my last respects.  I love you Edward and I'll never forget how you treated me and helped me. 

 The last time Edward and I spoke on the phone he called me a week before he left us and he asked if I had a pair of sun glasses that he could wear.  My response was "Edward what are you going to do with a pair of ladies sun glasses" he resonded and said "me and my friends are going to the mall to meet some girls and we wanted to walk around and look cool with our sun glasses on" I told Edward "you are going to look like a fool not cool if you walk around the mall with sun glasses on.  I said no, Edward I don't have a pair that you could borrow.  He said ok and the was the last time we spoke.
