On May 31st, 2005, mah fam n I sadly lost mah grandfather, Mr. Raymond Ross. He was definitely one of the most influential people in mah life. I feel mah personality is greatly similar to how his was, laid back, kind-hearted and always lookin out for others before ourselves. There is no doubt i got mah "nice guy" attitude from him. I am also blessed to have his name as mah middle name, Ray. Before I was given tha nickname Ty Ty...I was Lil Ray, n I am proud to be associated with such a great man. Though he went through many illnesses n so much pain, he never complained, but instead, tried to help others out tha best he could. I truly respect him for that n i try to model mahself after him n be tha same way. Even though i'm selfish n want him here, I kno he's in a much betta place n is no longer in pain. I love him wit all of mah heart n soul n will miss him tremendously, but i kno he will always be wit me thru mah memories.
