I always wondered, how could she not love him.
Why does she put this drug habit in front of her children.
My sister would rather get high than love this beautiful child right here.
He was so adorable he looked like the kid from The Golden Child.
I was 17 he was 2 but I knew what I had to do I had to love him.
I was going to love him forever.
We had some rocky times he had to stay with my grandmother and
some of his aunts for a while, but he was mine and I was his auntie mama.
I wore that title proudly I knew he loved me but he did not believe I loved him.
How could he, his own mama did not love him.
I tried to keep him home I wanted so bad for him to be the man his dad would
have wanted him to be. He got so into those streets running after his mama
chasing her wanting her to love him while all the while I just wanted him to
Know that the love he was searching for he had in me the whole time.
He was my first son. No I did not give birth to him but I loved him.

bring that in here, I have rules, I don't live like that. I had to let him go.
He got killed. He was 18. Shot 16 times. MURDERED

A piece of me died with him.
