Honestly , Bo.

Ive been missing you for 10,000 hours. 

LOVE is the one thing I know for sure. Love does not age , it does not expire , it is not bound , it is not restricted.  When love is real ; it is there forever, it does not die. It’s the one thing I know for sure. 

 I have an older brother . With him everything an adventure! My brother is a social butterfly & FULL of life. He listens to his music so loud, loves to dance, tends to play too much and always makes a scene.

 As kids , we connected most through mischief. He was the mastermind, I was his sidekick. Haha , even when I did not agree. 

My brother graduated high-school at 21. I never understood why he wouldn’t just go get his GED. I definitely asked him, but only when I was ready for a fight.  It’s funny because he actually cares what I think of him. Truth be told admire him and always have. He lives life his way. 

See Robert has a free spirit and never takes “No” for an answer. He wasn’t afraid to ask for what he needed or wanted. That could get you into a lot of trouble but it’s the only way to LIVE. I was too aware of everything. I think after Robert moved away , we both learned to balance the two ideals. 

Ugh , when he moved away I was shattered. The city we lived in was no place for a young black wild child to thrive, I get it! But he had been with me my whole life! He’s my security blanket. Yet when I think about it he has always tried to expose me. The good & the bad. He pushed me out of my comfort zone. 

Blabber mouth would tell every one my business at school. LOUDLY. He would always acknowledge me and introduce me. Never tried to hide or dismiss me. He would push me into the middle the floor for a dance battle. He was always pointing me out, pridefully.  

Not only did he graduate high school at 21 but he moved to a city where the streets are painted gold! Im sure he’s having the time of his life, but I don’t get to see him much. I feel his presence . I cry for him and we celebrate every accomplishment. He’s my support. I know he’s working with the man in charge to help me navigate through life.

I’ve never met another human like him. Not until I got “The Carter.”  Maybe thats why he doesn’t come to visit as much anymore. Who really knows?

The one thing I know for sure is love. It grows. It transcends. It transforms. It never dies. Long Live Robert Lee Thomas III .
