My Brother, My Best Friend,Why Lord??
Aye yo, I know I been writing about a lot of random things lately, but I think its about time I wrote some real stuff. When I was like 15 years old I lost someone that was very close to me. It was my brother Chris Elliott. He was the best friend any kid could ask for but something happened that would change my life forever. While participating in a Basketball Tournament in Jackson, he drowned in the pool at the hotel that we were staying the night in. A couple of my friends and I were suppose to go swimming with him but he told all of us to stay in our room and rest for our game tomorrow. Being obedient we listened, but to this very day we wish we hadn't. Chris was in the pool by himself and caught a cramp in the middle of the pool and drowned. They tried to revive him but he wouldn't come back. He was already experiencing trouble with his lungs so that matter made things worse. Our coaches told us what they said at the hospital and all we could do was cry. It really hurt my heart because he was so close to me. We didn't finish the tournament because they said we weren't in any condition to play basketball. We headed home and was greeted at school by our family and friends and our high school basketball coach talked to us about how he lost his cousin. So he knew how we were feeling. From that point on I knew my life would never be the same. I've changed since that day and people have told me that I've gotten meaner, but how could you blame me. I lost the only person in the world that understood me. What's the point. R.I.P Christopher Lamar Jo Jo Elliott. I miss you bro. We all do.
