I read a poem today, and it truly described my uncle and his wife. I read how the love and bitterness has cause so much anger. The poem was about family, and how sad and depressed it could be. The relationship ended on a bad note and it was very hurtful. My uncle is sick and his wife is not at best. Being rude to us all, and always being in distress. The poem ended with a sad goodbye and a never return to the two people involved. As my uncle trys to gain his strength and recover from a lengthy illness, the relationship is on the ropes and almost at the end at best.

Rude people get on my nerves. I went to see my uncle who is ill and his wife is very rude. I was checking on him today and she was just as rude as ever. I tried my best not to say anything, but it was very hard. I told my uncle, man I cant take this any longer. I told his wife that she needs to learn how to conduct herself and I walked away. I don't know if I'm going back over there, but I had to say something.

Grandmother's Day

On yesterday, I had the chance to spend time with my granny. It was actually my late grandfather's birthday and she was in one of the reminiscing stages. Being that I'm the only grandson, my grandfather and I were very close. My grandmother always tells me that " Lil Fred, you look just like your grandfather." We sat and talk about the good-times and how he use to make us laugh.
I looked into my grandmother's eyes on yesterday and I could see that she really misses him. I decided to stay with her on yesterday and i ended up falling asleep. I woke up early this morning, and she had breakfast waiting for me. I let her know that i miss the days of staying with them and waking up to her making me breakfast. I spend a lot of time with my grandmother but yesterday was a day she needed me.
My family has embedded in me the importance of family from when i was a youth. I know that I can't always be there but I try my best to always be there. I encourage you all to continue to love and support each other. You never know when the day will come and you will have to say your final goodbye. I can remember leaving my mother's mom for the final time. I told her that I will see her on tomorrow and tomorrow never came.
My parting words will be love each other as if its your last day of being together. For the ones who have grandparents left, tell them that you love them and try your best to be there.

Game Time

SITTING HOME THIS WEEKENAND HAVING NOTHING TO DO. I TURNED ON TELEVISION AND ALL I SEE IS SPORTS AND MORE SPORTS. I SIT HOME WITH MY SON AND WE WATCH THE BASKETBALL GAMES. WE WATCH GAME AFTER GAME, SHOT AFTER SHOT, AND PASS AFTER PASS. I TURN TO HIM AND I TELL HIM THAT ONE DAY THIS WILL BE YOU. I TELL HIM THAT IF HE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE HIS BASKETBALL GAME AND HIT THE BOOKS THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
ITS HALF-TIME AND I BEGIN TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THE GAME OF LIFE. I TELL HIM THAT "N LIFE A MAN WHO FAILS TO PLAN, PLAN TO FAIL." I WAS TALKING TO HIM TO ABOUT MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION. I WAS TELLING HIM THAT WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAKE IN LIFE COMES A CONSEQUENCE. SO AT THE END OF THE GAME OF LIFE I KNOW THAT THE GAME HAS TO END AND THE HEAVENLY GAME BEGINS.
MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHO WILL YOU PLAY FOR. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TEAM EVIL AND TEAM GOOD. I KNOW THAT ON TEAM EVIL THEY DO THINGS THE WRONG WAY BUT ON TEAM GOOD THEY GO AROUND DOING GOOD THINGS. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. WHO WILL YOU SUIT UP FOR?
