I remember, when my Keke, which is what I called him because I was 4, we were playing candyland in the hospital room where my brother, Micah was born. I am his half sister, Kaley, and was not blood related to Keith. He taught me how to read, and started me off with lots of my academic studies. I loved him very much.
