i went to the funeral
drove from here to my old hometown of battle creek, michigan i guess i'll try to break everything down this was a long drive so i made two stops on the way.. after work i packed everything and drove 3 hours to my parents house and crashed there when i got ready to leave the next day i drove like 6 hours to ohio and crashed at my Aunt Tonya's house then when i left there the next day i drove like 5 hours to battle creek, michigan i drove around to some of my old stomping grounds.. i went to the two houses i used to live in.. i also went to my old schools... elementary, middle school, and high school it was crazy i was having flashbacks then i checked in at the courtyard marriott then i went to this sub place called jersey giant.. came back to the room and just chilled.. the room was really nice and i enjoyed being in there.. it felt very cozy and the lighting was nice so it was relaxing.. it was also modern and i enjoyed the view out the window it felt good being in my old hometown woke up the next morning, mcintosh (one of my best homies) text me and invited me to go to breakfast at the corner cafe with him and tim... went to that.. it was fun.. couldn't finish the food, it was a lot.. it was really good though they went back to his house after that.. they said they would come to the funeral home a little later.. i went straight to the funeral home though because i didn't want to miss anything got there and saw madd people i hadn't seen in 20 years.. it was nice to see peeps.. we chatted and caught up with eachother eventually it was time to go to the military salute thing.. because my friend who passed served in the military for a bit went to that and i pretty much broke down during that.. there's something about that military service thing where being there live kinda gets you.. they shot some guns and played that trumpet song, and folded the american flag and all that i was kinda trying to relax and just think about something else like video games or something but the tears were just streaming my friend sean held it together really well and he gave me a reassuring hug.. and so did ben mcintosh asked me if i was going to meetup at another spot, i had to say no.. i was done after that salute service.. i just needed to leave because i had enough.. it was too sad from there i went to mancino's pizza and subs in battle creek.. then i drove from michigan to my parents house.. stayed the night.. then drove the last 3 hours back to my house the next day i'm very glad i went and i'm very grateful that the Lord gave me a safe trip as for my homie who passed i feel like he went before his time.. they said he overdosed.. he wasn't married and he had no kids knowing him, he wouldn't have wanted this to happen.. he had a spirit of success and faith and a spirit of fighting and dealing with adversity.. but i kinda think maybe deep down there may have been a weakness he didn't want to address i'm not saying i'm right about that.. but that's my perception.. because i don't think he reached out for help.. he was like an independent person.. and sometimes those people aren't forthcoming about needing help anyway.. i'm not sure what else to say so i'm out peace
