 A year ago today,my son Jamaal passed away. For today, I must do the right thing. A thing that ADDS LIFE,something J would approve of. So, the dad who lost his kid will spend the afternoon with some kids who have no dad. I'm spending the afternoon at a children's home,discussing mindset and the life traps to prepare for in teenage,and vybing with one another. According to me, that's the best thing I can do.And the money I would use for a party or newspaper advert can do something great for these kids, so nacheza ivo.Forward. I don't know what to feel,say, or think.For this one year, I have been pushing through by focusing on the grind,being grateful,and hanging out with my buddies.It's not working now,but that's for tomorrow. Let's keep Jamaal's name in the air today.Drop some love,thanks to everyone. Ive been off the phone alot,will get back to everyone later.For pressing issues, hit my team. THANK YOU FOR everyone showing love and support,I appreciate it and feel truly blessed.Its not easy to find genuine friends, and I have MANY. Love yourself and be gentle with yourself.After you UNDERSTAND what loving yourself and putting yourself first REALLY means,then love your tribe with reckless abandon,and give people their flowers while they are here.Don't screw people over for money, it's not worth it.Don't tolerate abusive friendships, they aren't worth it,no matter who.Im proud of myself as a Dad and as a Friend.I DID ALL I KNEW TO DO,and that gives me some freedom in this pain.I am #SuperDad ,and that's forever.Been a G for long but couldn't beat death on behalf of my boy.Damn. #love #pain #lost #hope #memories #questions #why #time
