We were only about 6 years old when I was entered into the Williams family. Salome, Little Danny and I used to all love playing Mortal Kombat, the floor was lava and chasing eachother around the neighborhood. I remember sleeping over. Then I remember hanging out at Grandpa D's and Grandma Elvias watching their endless movies from the movie store, watching tons of boxing and eating chicken! When Grandpa D passed away Sal had became more of a young man and had grown into a responsible and wise one.
As we got older and with the passing of my own mother it became more of a choice to stay within the Williams family. There was never a question of if I was family or not for Salome and for that I have been overly blessed.
When I came to stay with them in Mariposa we all had such good bonding times over good grubs, hiking adventures, working the ball park with Gma Elvia, watching shows, and hanging out with all the williams kids. I was getting ready to join the Army and Sal had just finished graduating figuring his life with His high school sweetheart. While I was away serving Sal started his family with Tabitha. Starting his family also began his career in the Army. During his training he had his wife Tabitha and son lil Salome come to stay with me in Virginia. He always put his family first and with Tabithas condition, being pregnant and recovering from an aneurysm, he wanted her close. Tabitha, lil Sal and I really got to bond and I fell in love with his mini Sal. I loved seeing Salome and Tabitha as a family. They were raising their kid so well and being there for Josiahs birth was so exciting. I wish I could have spent a bit more time these last couple years with them, but I was busy starting my own family in Florida. Whenever I could catch a game with Salome online with league of Legends I would. He was sooo much better than I at league. Salome was a year or so younger than I but I looked up to him and admired him. He was wiser than his years on Earth. He was the every bit of good in his parents. He was respectful, always looked out after GMA Elvia and his mother and then his wife and children. He respected his mother , father, elders and every living individual. He loved his family more than anything and he showed it. Salome was one of the best, the favorite for so many of us and a priceless individual. The best of the best. I will miss him dearly. The blood that wasnt my blood, but loved ever so much!
