I am not in a good mood today, so I apologize in advance! May 14th would have been our 1 year anniversary, May 19th was one year since he passed away. I did very well that week, I think.

I remember the day I met Tj. It was a Friday, I went to our mutual friends house. I pulled in the driveway and saw him working on his raggedy old truck. I remember laughing to myself, thinking what the heck is that guy wearing? (his white wife beater ) Joseph introduced us and I remember just blowing him off, and going on about my business. We all three got ready and went to Marbury’s first football game of the season. As we were walking into the stadium, Tj looked at my with his big smile…
