Praying God comfort in the Family.

I remember when my uncle Marshall was dressed in his fit with the clean hat and he had his hair long in a braid smelling good to go out. I showed up at big momma house and I was dressed to impress and long hair too he looked at me and said who yo daddy lol and you don't look better then me. I busted out laughing so hard cause he saw how much we looked alike and the different eras but he knew I was a Frater and he had his hands full. I love you uncle Shine bright star 🌟
