The Day My World Ended
On August 5, 2003 around 11:08 pm my brother was stopped at a red light 2 blocks from his and our parents house(he lived down the alley from my parents)along with my 13yr old nephew he had just went to go get to spend the night with him when a man walked up to his window, as my brother turned to look at him he shot my brother point blank in the chest and in his heart!! As my brother tried to pull away he shot at the car several more times.He made it to my parents house and banged on the garage door yelling to my father "Dad I've been shot.He collasped in my fathers arms saying "Dad don't let me Die!"At 12:07am August 6,2003 (59 minutes later) my brother,bestfriend and the "love of my life" DIED in the emergency room at the hospital that was 10 minutes from his house.I still can't believe it!! In one moment my whole life was destroyed along with my familys and his 4 yr old daughter and 7yr old son.I"am totally devastated and broken hearted!! It is so unbelivable. My 27yr old brother was murdered on a attempted carjacking on his car.They still haven't found the person that did it.

Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Sometimes the things we can't change
end up changing us instead.
God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them.
You don't drown by falling in water. You drown by staying there
When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out

Tears are words the heart can't say.
No matter how many times you hear the line 'Just forget about it and move on', there are certain things and people in life that just can't be forgotten. Not the ones that had the most impact on your life. Not the ones that really mattered to you. As time goes by you learn to live your life without them but they always stay in the back of your mind.
Strength comes from within.
It is not how far you can go,
Or how much you can take…
It's confronting the worst things in your life…
and surviving.
It is about getting through death
and being able to live at the end of it.
When you love someone, they never get lost; wherever they go, they are still somewhere in your heart and as long as they know that, they will always know that when they find you, they find themselves once again.
