after laughter, comes tears

sometimes it sucks when music is your soundtrack.
the moment i rolled over this morning and saw MOMS on the cell phone screen, I knew something was wrong.
Cue Tearz from the Wu as it began to run through my mind in the background.
It's 8:27 AM and before I even answered, I check the call history. Six missed calls between 2:19 and 3:10 in the morning.
Take a deep breath...hello? what's wrong?
Your cousin got shot. etc etc etc. All else she said was a blur.
So, I've been on edge all morning. Not too hungry. Just in a daze. I had planned on going to church tomorrow. Now, I got one more reason to pray for. I love my family and it pains me for anyone of them to become a victim. Because in the end, we are all victims.
Sometimes people try to live vicariously through others just to experience the thrill or excitement. Right now, I find myself on the verge of throwing up with a burning sensation permeating my entire body praying for son to pull through. It's eerie that I sent a posthumous shout-out on Thursday to Big L and today I am on bended knee for my own Big L. He's a strong dude, but please God bless him.
