I’m just sitting here thinking about how this year has been. One word comes to mind… rough. Man oh man, it was truly rough, but I’m here and blessed. But it saddens me because I know 4 of the people who I truly love a whole lot will be leaving me. I swear to all who is reading this, I am gonna cry my ass off come August. I PROMISE you. No if, ands, or buts about it. They just mean so much to me, and seeing them leave and not be back for a while will hit me, hard. I’m proud of them. Very very proud of each and every one of them for putting their best foot forward and making big moves in life. I know God will continue to bless them as they take this next step in life. I pray that they will continue to great because I know they’re all capable of being great. Trust me, their my friends… I would know. <3 I love you guys. (Anthony, Alicia, Marcell, and Rachel).

This is how i spent my 420 and playing kickball =]
“Jessicaaaa!” is all I hear at the moment. Dad. That’s a real ass title that a person holds. I gave it to Terrence James Shirley. I met a great man four years ago. He was always on top of his game, always did what he could for others, and was just beautiful, inside and out. Lol. Going to his office for talks all the time, was just some of the things I needed, especially dealing with things this year. It was always an enjoyment just to sit and talk with someone who you truly admire for helping you become who you are today. Just envisioning him walking around with that big beer belly makes me smile. A walking motivation. That’s what he was. He made the impossible seem possible, through any situation. I’m blessed to have ever met a person such as TJ. I’ll miss him more than anything. I was his only black daughter, lol. He accepted me as a person and as an athlete. That’s something I’ll never forget. I love him dearly for doing so. Rest in Paradise Dad, I’ll see you soon.
Hey dad. I hope all is well up there. Man, if you were here I’d have so much to tell you. You’d be highly disappointed in me, I know it. I miss the good morning calls you’d make to wake me up. I miss you coming to visit every blue moon but always checking on me. I miss those walks we’d take to the park. Even the shortest of times we spent together were great. I feel as if I missed out. I feel like I took you for granted, and that’s why you’re gone. I just hope that one day I’ll see you again. I’m sure of it. I love you with all my heart. - Babygirl.
Being the friend who fucked up in life sucks, cause once they leave for school… you gotta find some new friends who are just as fucked up as you. Or just manage to be by yourself.
