I remember seeing you for the first time at the family reunion. I, so wanted to get to know you, as I watched your silence and you were slightly removed from everyone. A shy young man I thought. I commented to you and your brothers, "What a find bunch of young black brothers your are." Your smile was kind of sheepish. You remained quiet and detached. You didn't know me, your uncle who lives near San Francisco. I do know how proud my brother is of you, nephew. I didn't get to tell you how hard by brother worked to get a son, after having very lovely girls. I grieve for you and your father...R.I.P.
