GOODBYE 2008

Final post of 2008. I'll keep it short and simple like the past few posts.

This year has been one hell of a ride, mos def some ups and downs...and I STILL MISS YOU GRANDMA LORING. It's been exactly 40 days since her death and not one day has passed that i haven't thought of you.

I want to take this oppurtunity to thank everyone who was there for me during my family's tough times,I am forever greatful for that.

I feel like I'm ending this year on a good one, ...finally working again and with good people(BIG THINGS COMING IN 2009!), school is going good, and also....i've been dj'ing like crazy and getting more and more gigs at places i've never been before! And for that, i'm thankful that i have great people around me who have gotten me to where i am and where i'm heading!

back to reality

Hey world! Sorry for the lack of updates. As some of you know, my granma died last friday on nov. 21 2008. So these past few days have been a tough ride for me and my family. But I would like to thank all of you for your support you have showed to us. We greatly appreciate everyones thoughts and prayers. It never gets too old to have friends that show great acts of kindness. Friends & Family always come first.


And now, back to the life i love to live.

Starting this wednesday.



AND FINALLY, SADLY....OUR LAST BAR DYNAMITE THURSDAY

Never gonna go a day without you..

Today i said my last goodbye to my dear grandma loring. I've never had so many tears fall from eyes ever. I didn't cry because she's no longer with us. I know she's in a better place where she doesn't have to suffer anymore. However i cried so hard because what i witnessed this morning at the funeral. I've never seen my entire family in tears of sorrow.Especially my mother, my mom is the number one woman in my life and always will be, to see her in tears...i literally felt the pain she was going through. Everyone in my family had a special connection with my grandma, and like we all said during our eulogy, my grandma was the life of the party...(i see where i get my wild side now). Of course it was sad and tough for all of us in the begining, but the right thing to remember was that she lived a great life and she provided 87 great years of her life to provide for her family.

I'm gonna miss all the times i shared with her, especially the day i would take her around town whether it was her doctor's appointments, shopping(she loved to shop btw), and the best part...McDonalds! She will always be the sunshine of my life, my guardian angel, and always and forever my grandma loring. I love you Grandma!

Goodbye.


P.S
When i get to heaven, i promise i'll bring McDonald's fries just for you.
