I was 21....Legal in age, and unwise in the ways of the world, except to finally learn what pure love was. You taught me that from March 11th 1993 until today. What a wonderful feeling to love someone without prejudice, judgement or conditions. I am grateful for that Teddy. I don't think I ever told you, but thank you for loving me for who I am, my short comings and unintended mistakes ever made. You made me a better person. I love you son. As you got older, before Jalen even came, we had such a special relationship. Probably around 4 or 5 years old, things shifted. You began taking care of me. We've already gone through your dad not being there and me getting through a divorce with C. He had made a pact to each other that we would have each other's back after that. No one would come and mess up our home. Then G came, and not long after that, came Jalen. No matter what was going on with us in our relationship, the 3 of just made that trinity and said no one shall break us. No matter WHO came into our lives, they would come after us. We were the nucleus and whoever didn't respect that, didn't stay. So all of these years, it's just been us, because I wont just allow anyone into our home, our paradise..I always protected ya'll anyway I could. I'm going to bed. I love you baby boy.
