Seeing your face after I won my first championship at the NBA Kings Gym you was so proud of me. That day I knew you knew you were fruitful like your name Ephrem means because what you taught me was now blossoming and your fruit was speaking !! From the days you say Jaysie work on your handles, and work on your crossover Jaysie!! I did and I believed. Thank you big brother. After I went to college you would say I stole your dream!! Nah big brother I became the dream. I appreciate it bro! I told you this before but you didn't grasp it back then, the world was so hard on you and our lives went different directions. I never knew who you became and you never knew who I became. Man I'm angry because we couldn't grow together but I'm grateful that what I did have with you was good!! You are good and loving brother, I am happy to say I had a awesome big brother growing up. I had some recent dark days with God's grace I won those battles but I'm raising my boys to believe like you taught me to believe in myself. To most of all believe in Jesus. I remember when I came back from college and yall was in Castro Valley you was on fire for God and you was reading the book of proverbs getting stronger in your faith. I wasn't trying to hear nothing about God and I was foolish. Yet I knew you was praying for me. I prayed for our family everyday now and I feel good to know your with Jesus. No matter how long the devil thought he had you Jesus redeemed you and gave you those years back in less time. I am praying that for my life. I'm glad you didn't see the pain and abuse I went through and I'm glad I didn't see yours. God knows we both couldn't handle it. I now can hold on to all the good we had and I'm sure before your last breathe you could remember that you are good too!! You are good big brother, you are good ! You made it bro! You're the Champion now !! You're with the greatest championship team. All the people can now see God's Glory in you !! You are Blessed I love you big bro!! ❤️ See you in Paradise, your living forever!!
