“as a man there are certain things in life you just don't wanna hear and refuse to believe, this is one of them. you hear of unexpected deaths and never truly understand the pain and emotion one feels when they've lost some one so close to them. how is it possible for me to hear that my lilcuz just died and not have a sense of disbelief? life is the only thing you get one shot at and once it's gone it's gone. cherish every moment in love and live life responsibly, do what's right in patience and long suffering, that when you go, people have nothing but wonderful memories of your laughter, your smiles and even your small efforts of encouragement, we only have one life to live.#R?.I.P LIL cuz .”
