its been 11 years this year,i remember cause it was 10 days before my 22 birthday.i beat my self up over it.at the time i was into church.that day we had a church play right down the street from his house.i invited him ,but he had the kids and was waiting for mari.that was the last ime we talked.maybe if i wasnt at church we could of kicked it and none of this would of happened!just maybe.we could of stayed his house played need for speed.and drink.like we used too.buti guess god has a plan for all of us!
   He was more than just my best friend ,he was like my brother.he was a good guy,someone you want on your side.a true friend.a good father!i was lucky to have known him.
  I remember when i first met him,he just transfered to Redlands high.and he was talking to Pat,the security gaurd(Lena's mom)It was funny cuz people used to get us mixed up cuz we had  the same jacket and hair cut,they used to tell me,"didnt i see you on the south campus?"id be like "no,that was the new guy"but we never kicked till we went to Orangewood!those were the days!good times.ditching,packing up Jesus's blue station wagon with everyone and driving all over the place.
 there was always something going on,just like when we packed up the blue van to go to the Orange show!that was a crazy day.started off with the cops chasing some one thru Jesus's back yard while we were leaving.next thing i know the police holicopter is like right next to us in the field across the street!10' off the ground!i was like "oh sh....!"that night ,me and sonny got kicked out just because the cops were being b****s!
  just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.i never talked about it.ya,i literally cried for 3 years.couldnt drive,cuz my eyes would just well up.i do miss him.he was my brother.i owed him so much.
  Ya,we used to beat each other up in the Del taco bathrooms,two of us would go in,then wait for the homie to come in then just jump'em.it was funny, i got a pattern of the levis print on my forehead.i remember time when me an sonny would beat each other up in his room, and nana would come in screamin at us.just a lil rough housin'.
