I miss you Dwight.. Your memory lives on. He died exactly a week after his 18th birthday and a day after thanksgiving. The holidays are not the same with you. Its been 7yrs and no update, no nothing. I remeber the day he got jumped into a gang. His face all lumped up. I was so mad at him. My mom was so mad at him. That was not the lifestyle we were brought up in. We didnt have drug dealers and gang bangers in our family. The streets got him and turned him into something he was not. He was out riding his skateboard doing tricks one minute, to outside hanging out with the gangbangers the next. He was a good kid. Just started hanging around the wrong people. It was not even a month after he got jumped in that mess, that he got shot down on the corner of Crenshaw and Adamns across the street from Johnny Pastrami. IF anybody Knows anything please let it be known. He didnt get to live his life. He had so much ambition, so many goals. Rest in Peace My Brother.
