I always thought of you like a man the responsibility you carried and the way you handled it was impeccable. I loved the way you looked after your sister like a father. You could show her how to be a woman but you definitely showed her how a man should treat her. Man it´s messed up that your gone Lil bro and I would love to have you on this earth even though though this world is trying so you could evolve into the man you was going to be. I´m gone miss ya we had our own way of interacting as teacher and student and it was one of the most genuine there is. Ps thanks fir giving football a shot when I asked even when you didn´t have time for no football but you gave it a shot
