Yesterday was a really sad day for me. I cried. I usually don't show emotion, but i could not hold it in. Yesterday i visited my grandparents. Figured it would be an ordinary visit. It was NOT. I used to live on same block as my grandparents.
I find out yesterday the kid across street from me died in IRAQ. We used to play manhunt, baseball, Kill the man with ball. I had moved 15 years ago from that street, but i remembered him dearly. They had a memorial on the block. News was there and they made a nice presentation. Renamed my block from Tracy Lane to Bobby Pope Way. The saddest part was when i approached his mother. And the moment she saw me she started crying and said i look familiar. I was like ya i lived here 15 years ago, i remember bobby. They recognized me after all these years. It was very sad. Poor family. He had a son and wife too. Only 20 years old. Life is so short, so precious at times.
I guess the only positive if any is he died as a hero, fighting for his country.
