I only ask this question, because it hurts my heart to continuously see our children dying the way they  that they are over unessential nonsense. Our president is overtly concerned about a war that is really none of our business when we have a war right here at home. I am going to tell you a little story and understand that the victim nor the friends are gang affiliated.

A 15 year old in San Bernardino was shot over jealousy last week. This morning I heard about the 5 kids/teens that were shot at a house party; my comment is, on the 1st of July, there was some shooting at a house party, and a young man was shot in the back as he was trying to run to safety. He was shot twice, and as he was running he tripped and fell over a small brick wall, knocked a chunk of skin out of his head and broke his neck. He was my son’s best friend. They had been friends since the 5th grade and the young man was 19 years old. Do you know that it took the ambulance over 2 hours to arrive? My son ran 6 blocks to get his friend’s father in which the father, my son and 5 other friends put the young man in the back of his father’s truck only to be told by one hospital that they did not treat gunshot wounds and told by a second hospital that he had to be transported to a 3rd hospital. He laid there on life supports for 4 days before he went home to meet GOD. This too happened in Sn Bdo. You know 2 weeks later, law enforcement still had not caught the shooter? I requested that a $25,000 reward be put out and then I bet the boys’ mother would turn him in. My request was never answered. Ironically, my son and 2 friends were standing in front of his apartment when they saw the 18 year old murderer. They chased him down beat the crap out of him while the girlfriends called the police with the help of other members in the complex. I thank God that nothing happened to them. My son watched his friend get shot and he watched his friend die. He was there every moment with him in the hospital along with the family and other friends. I know that I sound rhetorical and I haven’t gotten straight to the point, but this young man was like my son. He always had a comic sense of humor, always smile and truly believed in God. He made everybody’s day from all walks of life and was truly loved. Why is it that many kids today do not value life the way we once did? You know the killer was arguing with a 16 year old over a girl and this young man was not the intended victim. Please continue to pray for us and our extended family. Services were Friday the 20th of this month, but it is after everyone is gone that we will all really need support, especially the parents and my son. I have included a poem that I wrote for this young man and my son, I left my name out for this blog.

THE ONE’S I LOVE…
Life is precious, life is dear,
Please oh Lord lend me your ear.

Give the one’s that I LOVE
the strength to move on,
and
please help them to understand and do no wrong.

Keep my legacy alive through LOVE
as you release GOD’S precious Doves.
Help my friends to understand that I am safe in GOD’S hands.

As we walk through these brazened lands,
God has drawn his blueprint plans.
GOD helps to guide us, to do what’s right
and
not to argue, fuss or fight.

Strive to do right,
Fight to stay strong,
‘cause in your heart,
you will never be alone.
I’ll be your Guardian ANGEL, whether far or near
and
ALWAYS ask GOD to Lend you his ear…
