Before he was known as Cash, he was known as Timothy. Before he was known as "The Homie" he was known as HIS only brother and HER youngest son, now leaving her with only ONE! Before he was taken and the night fell dark, he was the light that shined so bright, he planted a seed that grew in me and he gave me my...Son-light. If I could only go back in time and press rewind, I would pause and beg (YOU) not to release those 9! I wonder if I gently sung to u the words he and I once sung to our son, I wonder if your treacherous deed would go undone? Listen, for this is the song we sung...(you are my sunshine my only sunshine u make me happy when skies are grey, you'll never know dear how much I love you...PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY) and I would beg u, and beg u, and beg u...PLEASE!!! DONT TAKE MY SON'S SHINE AWAY!! But I can't go back, can I? You took him way anyway. You left us sadness of dark clouds and endless tears of pain that feel like typhoons, tsunamis and hurricanes. But yet in still, I want YOU to know something...you may have murdered him in flesh and in life, but u have NOT succeeded in killing him in spirit. For his memory, his laughter, his smile, his charm and his love lives on throughout everyone who ever loved him which not only outweighs the hatred you had for him but is also more powerful than the pain you put in him. Even in my saddest moments, I do NOT wish upon you what you have done to us. For you would have to have a heart to even feel it and you have none. Making an eye for an eye pointless. Now read this carefully because this what my point is...your identity might be a mystery forever to everyone, but HE knows exactly...who...you...are! You may never deal with the Judge or serve any time related to his death but you will face Judgement day and incase you forgot or if no one ever told you, there is no escaping that day! GOD is worse than any CRIMINAL PROSECUTOR, DA, SUPREME COURT JUDGE AND HOMICIDE DETECTIVE! Meaning there is NO way he's gonna let you get away with murder! Now I know I was taught to pray for my for my enemies. However, you are not my enemy. You are Tim's! And being that you're the reason y Tim is no longer living, he is unable to pray for you himself. After all, you got yourself in this mess, now see what kind of prayer will get u out! The wrath of GOD vs your bullets.....................my, my, my...May God have mercy on your soul.......

Timmy, lets sing it....you'll never know dear how much I love you.........
