Wow it´s been a minute, and yesterday was really crazy for me... I couldn´t quite figure out what was wrong/off then my granddaughter said the 21st... and the light came on. 16 years...... It´s crazy how much I still miss my nephew and how strong the hurt is still there...... even though I have the hope of seeing, hugging and kissing him again.... That hope helps me to endure but doesn´t lessen my grief. Fam, I love you, and continue to let Jehovah comfort and guide you thru these turbulent times

Today I put a smile on my face as I tap into the power of my angel. As I sit and think about this day 12 years ago, I think about how my life changed and shifted. I think about all the good times and the good memories we had. I think about how when you were around nobody had any choice but to smile and laugh, it was always a good time. I think about the type of person you are and I realize I am that person too. No matter what life throws at me I will push through with you.
In loving memory of my brother.

Bruh you would be so proud of me to see what I have accomplished and you would be shocked to see how tall I am. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I learn so much from you and I will continue to move according to how I know you would want me too. Love you with every bit of my heart.

Today began with a few tears and a much needed laugh. I thought of all the things I miss about you and all the things you've missed. Then I thought about secrets we shared and the side jabs no one understood. I had to laugh cause the cat is out of the bag now! LOL
You are my cousin, annoying little brother, and at some point as you grew up, you became my friend. I miss that. I know it's been a while but I'm always thinking about you. I miss you introducing me to your friends and telling them how I used to not like you. LOL It's true. But I have always loved you and will always love you. My Punky, continue to rest.
Loving and missing you.

WOW its 7 years today..... Time really flies especially when your missing someone. SMH 9/21 will always be a hard day for me. Just thinking back to that phone call & Bryant telling me you were gone. I really didn't understand what "GONE" meant but I figured it wasn't good. It felt like my heart jumped out of my chest and someone just stomped all over it, that's how hurt I was when getting that news. I really didn't know how I or the family was gonna go on without you because you were always the center of attention. Now who's gonna still that shine? Let me guess mini you (Lil Steve)!!!!! Of course he will cause he is just like you "Always wanna be the center of attention BY HIMSELF" lol. Everyone says your in a better place which I agree you are but of course you know me (your selfish stingy little sister) I want you here regardless of whats better for you. I just wanna see you smile one more time, hear you laugh one more time, see you try to dance and do the harlem shake or try to beat your feet one more time. Those are some of the little things I would love to see that would just put a smile on my face one more time!!! :)
I never thought I could ever miss anyone like this, its crazy but not a day goes by that I don't think about you or see Lil Steve do some of the crazy things you did and think "Man I wish his father was here to see this crazy stuff". I know your looking down on us tho!
You will forever be missed and loved!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your Christopher!

Steven (:
It's Kaylin AKA, "Teacake" LOL.. I'm 16 Now!! I'm Getting Older & Guess What?! I'm In SCHOOL! REAL SCHOOL! I've Done ROTC & EVERYTHING, You Would Have Been So Proud! My Mom Always Says That If You Were Here, You'd Keep Me Hidden, Locked In A Room Somewhere If You Seen How Much I've Grown... The Older I Get The More I Wish You Were Here To Beat Up All The Boys That Hurt My Feelings.. I Could Always Count On You. I'm Not Sure As To What Brought Me Here But Sometimes When Days Are Hard, I Wish I Could Call You & You'd Come. I Wish You Could Put An End To My Unnecessary Tears, Lol.. You Were Always A "MAN" To Me.. & If You Were Here Now, LORD HAVE MERCY I Couldn't Imagine How You'd Be Today.
I Remember When You You Use To Stick Up For Me.. That Use To Be The Best. Looking At The Tapes From My Birthday Parties When I Was About 2-5, Make Me Cry. It Sucks That All I Have Are Pictures, Videos, & Old Stories To Remember You By. You Were Supposed To BE Here! You Were Supposed To Be Here, & Now Your Gone..
It's Not Your Fau;t Though... There Are Days Like This Where I Wish I Would Have Seen You More In The Past.. Haha, I Remember In Class Not Too Long Ago, In English, We Had The Topic On The Board That Said "If You Could Have Someone Waiting For You In The Limo, Who Would It Be?'... Guess Who I Said !! YUP, You! I Would Give Anything To Have Just A Moment Back... Just To See How You Are, To Hear Your Laugh, See Your Smile, Touch You, SOMETHING.
It's Not Fair How Life Goes.. It Hurts So Bad Sometimes.
I Know You Would Beat The Heck Out Of Me If You Knew I Cry About It, But Sometimes That's My Only Option..
Dang, I'm Rapping, LOL But I Just Want You To Know I MIss You.. I Had To Give You A Little Update.. Last Time You Saw Me I Was 9.. SHEESH, Time Has FLEW!!
Anyway, I Love You Punk.. I'll See You Soon, When The Time Is Right. *Kisses & Hugs* I Miss You More Than Anything Man, I'll Be Back Soon!

HeyNowwwwwwww Bro a.k.a Stephanie!!!
Not a day goes by that I don't think about you or miss you... Sometimes it feels unreal (or maybe I just wish it wasn't real). My big brother who use to be the life of the party is now gone. Let me rephrase that "your not gone, your still here watching over us". I just wish things were different especially when we got Lil Steve around! I swear I see you all over that lil boy!!! He is such a dare devil and isn't scared of ANYTHING!! I took him to the carnival last weekend and of course his little butt wanted to get on all the rides he was too small to get on. So what did we do? lol of course we begged the people to let him on! It reminded me of all the stories I heard about how you couldn't get on rides or they had to stick socks in your shoes so you could get on! lmbo but he loved it, had his hands up and everything and it put a big smile on my face :)!!!
LOL let me tell you what else this crazy child of your's said to me the other day.... "Aunt Crystal, do you know what a *GreatDaneDog* is"? I laughed so hard cause he said it just like that as if it was one word.... I said "Yeah why" he said (very loud in the phone)"cause if I had one of them dogs NOBODY WOULD MESS WITH ME" I laughed so hard I said if you ain't your fathers child..... All I could think about was you & blacky! Well let me get back to work I haven't done anything since I started writing this... Its been like 45 min now. But I love you soooooooo much muah!!!

Not doing so well. Not a day has gone by that I don't think about you and how much I miss you. I keep replaying everything over in my head, and thinking about lil Steven and how he's not going to have you around breaks my heart. He resembles you so much, he talks like you, he reminds me of you. I try to be strong but it's hard. It's so hard.. I miss coming home talking to you and listening to your crazy stories. Life is just not the same without you

It's been six years and i think i'm finally starting to heal..... i still miss you like crazy, but this year i did not fall into the pit.
i thought this was going to be the hardest year for me (us) considering that the 21st fell on the same day (Wednesday), but it was actually the best year so far since you've been gone. When we got together on Sunday and toasted you, it filled my heart with Joy to see this family full of laughter and joy instead of tears and sadness. It was really good even playing the ABC/Number games with the kids (Steven, Marcus & August).
i love you and miss you much, but you are always with me in my heart and mind.

6YRS AGO TODAY(same exact day and all)........around this time I got that call...I can hear Ms. Cookies voice playing over and over in my head.. "Shavonne can you come get your baby I need you to come and get your baby " (TEARS) :-( :-( .......If I only knew that call would’ve changed everything……. MAN OH MAN!!!! It still hurts especially when I see men kicking it with their kids when mines was cheated..... I gotta laugh to keep from crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MISSING THAT GOOFY SMILE!!!! I LOVE YOU BOY!!!!! MUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
