    1 How would life be? Would you still be in Mi? Have a family? Maybe get married?
    1 If I could bring back the ones I love.. I think a lot. I reminisce a lot.
    1 I smile think back though. If all yall was still here, we could tel each other how our lives are…
    1 What journey we would be on. See each other get old. I wish I could go back.
    1 When it was all laughs and jokes. Life is such a hard pill to swallow.
    1 I hope you are at peace. All my love 🩷 -De’Jon
