hey buddy...you know, i never saw it coming, none of us did, but this life and what we do in it is real. like the minister said, some people live for 50, 60, 70 years and dont get half as much the people that came to pay the respects for you...it just goes to show that youre purpose on this earth was fulfilled, and that was to love, inspire, brighten peoples days, bring joy to their lives, and the list of things can go on forever my friend. if only youd seen how many people were there...then again you did see buddy, we just couldn't see you. i will always remember you as my friend, and in life we only have but so many friends, and i mean real ones. i'll pray for you and never forget you in my life. little did i know that your as always funny message to me would be your last, and i wish that i could go back and just say how much you mean to me, but i cant...all i can do is hope and pray to God that you watch over your family, friends and me, can hear our prayers and what we say for you, and wait for us at those gates. i love you akim...and to akims family i know this is hard on you all. you must keep strength and faith and prayers in your life and remember that Akim watches over us all and will wait for us all, but in our own times we shall see him again. I pray for you all and hope that God gives you peace, strength, and rest through this all...may your soul rest in peace akim anthony adessi king...i love you man, watch over us and keep us safe. im not sad, im happy because i know that God willing I'll see you again in a place where pain doesnt exist and we can all just be happy.
