I have lots of great memories with my brother but one of the last was the greatest ever. Bro never let me get into any trouble in the streets. Sometimes I could be hot headed but he would always say,"Tay, lay low. I got this. One day while he was walking to work 5,6 in the morning my bro was jumped by 3 guys and being tazed at the same time, repeatedly by one of the guys gf. Well when he called me, I was in shock, and worried about him. No one had ever done this to him before, well as far as I know but anyway he said he was at work. I was soooooo freakin worried about him, if they had hurt him, even a scratch and I seriously needed to see him. I kept bugging him till he finally told his boss how I was worried about what had happened to him that morning. His boss knew because co-workers saw what happened and the word had spread to him, so his boss let him come home. Told him to go relieve his big sis cuz I was losing my mind, well he got off at 3 and I saw him. Not a scratch on him. I was still angry tho because of who it was and they didn't have to do him that way. Anyway, bro convinced me to calm down and lay low. I did for a day but after that lol that was it. Bro let me get down with him 1 time in our entire life and I couldn't have been more proud to help out. He had been such a protector to the women in his family and wanted nothing but the best for all of us. There was no way I wasn't gonna be there for him. He always made sure his Mom n sister's were good and wouldn't have to deal with guys who were no good for us or stress. He would lace our shoestrings up, as he would always say to me and make sure that we weren't being used, abused, or harmed in anyway. I just love and miss that man so freakin much. The way that he spent those months in 2014 working with my mom, and telling her that he just wants her to be happy and then made sure I was good and not heartbroken by being there for me and calling me every morning as we sipped our coffee whether talking on the phone, texting, or chillin at my Pops house. Doing the same throughout the day and callin just to say,"Hey Big sis, whats poppin"? That is if I wasn't chilling with him. Then he spent time with my sister in the Big D just to make sure she was straight but like I said he always had advice and his to her was "calm down" lol. He told me he was proud of me for being in school and to keep it up. I know this is what he would want me to be doing but all I think about is him, so sorry bro but I had to put school off for a little while. Bro came to my ceramics class and I needed an idea drawn to make, paint and fire up. I was happy he was there but when he said,"just make it a sun". I thought that was the laziest thought ever but I said ok can it atleast have fangs lol. He said yea, and even though that seemed like a lazy idea, it was one of my hardest projects. Bro was proud to see what his idea came out like. Lol. Everytime I look at it, I will think of him. I love and miss my brother and could go all day long about him. Rip my love
