I need to ask you some questions: do we still play basketball because it was our life when we were young and happy. We looked at basketball like it was something we never looked at in any wrong way. The game of basketball was always a plus for us. We loved it, the work we put in .I loved the way we played, the way we ran down court almost touching the rim, the way we glided in the air. It was truly magical and we spent hours outside with dad improving and it paid off when we were 14 and 15 all the way to are senior year.
I want to ask if we still watch anime like we always did, staying up to 3 to 4 o’clock in the morning watching Anime. I still remember the first real anime Naruto then the second My Hero Academia and the third was Attack on titan.
Where do we stay or live? Did we move out of Chicago? Did we move to Mississippi with our grandma and the rest of my dads family? I don’t want to ask this but what happened to mom and dad are they still alive or did they pass away? I love mom. She took us to work out and she took us to get food. I loved being around her and she supported me with everything I did. She recently went out of town to go to Houston for a work trip.
My dad is taking me to school for the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund. It is a fun experience and getting to meet new friends and get to meet new people that go to the school I am going to. I wonder how was it at St. Patrick was it a fun experience for us or was it a bad and horrible experience and did we switch schools down the line in the future? I wonder do we have a degree and if so what is the degree on? I think we talked about going to a HBCU college, did we end up going? If not where did we go for college or did we not go to college?
I did think about the Medical field but what field of work do we work in? We had big plans and I wonder did we go through with them. I remember when I was 13 I talked about working at Chick-fil-A all the time to get free meals and free shakes. I thought the same with McDonalds. I wonder if we can still get hired to get the free food like we always wanted when we were younger.
I wonder what happened to all the cousins what are they doing now a days. I remember we were so close we used to play games all day everyday. We used to eat out everyday, go to the playground and go to the corner store everyday in the summer. Then they moved away to Texas, I wonder do we still visit them in the summer or do they visit us? I wonder how our aunt is doing? Does she still make her world famous pancakes? I loved them.
