Amir, I never felt so much pain in my heart the way I felt when God gave you your wings. You was the most chilled, laid back, coolest young man I've ever known, and your smile could light up anyone's mood. I still remember the convo we had about you wanting to be a Barber, and I told you, you can do anything you put your mind to, and that I could see you doing that and to stay focused on that goal. Smh now we will never get to see your work. Nina looks at your pics and say "Mommy where Mir Mir at?" And I just tell her you're asleep which is so hard. Continue to watch over everyone. We're missing you dearly down here. I Love you Mir Mir!!!
