To my big brother pooh,
Lol where do I START?!?!? Let me STUNTfor a quick second.
Your RESUME stands with all the greats! Your LEGACY through character, grace, and principals are unlike no one. The AURA you command will be remembered INFINITELY.
Your GIFTS to the world CARRY a value of priceless, s/o Mastercard! While there’s so many gifts to speak on, I would like to highlight one, KINDNESS. To reflect on this gift, a quick story. You just had gotten out of rehab, and a homeless man approached the vehicle, light drizzle in Chicago, and a man tapped the window asked if he could share a free style with you. As the poem lasted more than 30 seconds I tried cutting the man off, saying we were late for a meeting, gracefully you put your arm out, let the man finish. When driving off, you looked at me and said “you never know what someone else is going thru.” The POET was able to share his words with DROSE, life changing experience. You always allow the best quality of your ENERGY to be exchanged in every interaction to create an unbreakable BOND!!!!!
Thank you for including me in your JOURNEY. It is truly an HONOR. I love being in your corner and be able to call you my BROTHER. The example in LIFE, you illustrate to me daily is filled with COMPASSION, RESILIENCE, INTELLIGENCE, RESPECT, and LOYALTY. Since leaving a college campus as a young man, I transformed into A MAN.
As this chapter closes as being the SAVANT, MASTER, WIZARD, we are just getting started. I think everyone will agree with me on this, strong “OPENING.” Looking forward to making the next chapter better than the last.
I LOVE you and THANKS for always being there for me. I never could have planned a kid from DEERFIELD, Illinois and a kid from the South Side of CHICAGO, s/o ENGLEWOOD, create our BOND.
Make a great day, thanks big bro!
Here are some pictures from BASKETBALL and LIFE. GLOBAL!!!!! ❤️
