My pops


Dad, you have been the best that you could be and I am thankful to have you. I will be leaving the country soon and this letter is for you only. Ever since I came in this world, you have always done your best to raise me with mom an its been a long road. I know I not the easiest child to raise but in the end you did it. I remember you teaching about defending my self in school and outside of home. You always told me, “ If someone hits you, hit them back as hard as you can.” I never forgot those words and it has helped me ever since. School wasn't easy but you helped me. You pushed me to be better and I became better. I never gave up, never backed down and always did my best to keep my head up high. Thank you for showing me this dad, or should I say 'Pops'. I never thought that I would become so much like you. It isn't a bad thing at all, it was just something that I did not expect. I remember the time when You were teaching me about how to change a tire in the backyard. That was fun and hard back then, but now its easy as eating and you know I can eat. The trips we had in the semi were always fun and amazing. The things I got to see, the animals I saw, the stores we went to. Those were some great times. The pawns shops were great to visit. The one in Oklahoma was always the best one to go to. They always had good instruments. Well this is what I wanted to tell you and that the time we had was great, I wanna do it again when I get back. See ya dad.

Sincerely, Chris.

she Inspires me.

The one person who inspires me would have to be my sister, Lynquatta. She has been a huge influence in my life for as long as I can remember. Shes' always pushed me to do my best at what ever I do in my life. whether it be at school, gym, home or even in my writings. She is always real with me no matter what. Nothing is sugar coated when we talk, everything is real. A punch never pulled, loving , and considerate. She never breaks me down but always brings me up and makes me laugh when I try to stay mad. I can never be mad at her. When we talk, we talk for hours at a time. She, would have to be my hero. Always and forever. I hope that I'm doing the same for her as her little brother and I want to be my best for her and family. Thanks sis.
