RIP Erick

You was you, like a ghetto king, a black rose – you were different.

You use to be you, but you were different then. You taught me streets – confident energy, pavement dialogue, poetic rhythms delivered straight to the chest. But we were different then. You got swallowed by a system that used you as bait then chewed you up and spat you out – you were rejected by your blood, flesh and bones. You were different then. You were adopted by the extended appendages of God’s greatest love; you were God-mothered, God-fathered, surrounded by the deepest blood family. We were different then. You fled from pillar to toast and right back again; from institution to road and back again. Things was different then. You were freed. You were exalted. You were loosed from the agonizing devil grip. You were allowed to catch your breath. And then you never had to catch it again. You are different now.

Nuff, nuff luv my brother

Check....check.....

Family! Nice to see you here, seems like a good time to get this started.... been absent for a minute, back at it from a different angle i suppose. A wife changes things......new direction changes things.....refined purpose changes things......ya, many things are new and its madd refreshing - thanks God! Purpose is amazing, especially when it's beyond ones comprehension. It keeps you guessing and anticipating, like you're never really sure where the next step will take you. This, of course, is really only doable when you have a Shepherd who is trustworthy

And this is really where it all began because "he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord" ain't dat da truth!

THAT day was an amazing day and very much a blur! it's crazy cuz so much goes into planning it and then it just flies by....thank God for pictures, videos and other people's memories.

Since then it's steady building and finding out more about what it means to share everything with the one you love. It's been an exciting journey which i imagine is only possible with the right person....much thanks to EVERYONE who was there, who supported us, who prayed for us and who continues to do that. Much, much luv!
