Speaker 3: arm and we found a vein. You went right in
Speaker 3: there smoothly. I didn't wasn't poked twice, and I didn't

Speaker 3: Okay, So this is why I want you to pick
Speaker 3: up the story. Okay, so and actually no, we're going
Speaker 3: to come back there. Just let's hold that off for
Speaker 3: a minute. Let's go back to when you were a
Speaker 3: young girl. I want you. I want people to hear
Speaker 3: what your life was at a young girl and how
Speaker 3: you changed it up, so people know how we met.
Speaker 4: Now, yes, and we connected just because we have the
Speaker 4: same kind of values and morals in life. And I
Speaker 4: had a hard time.
Speaker 3: At well, those morals and values came a little bit
Speaker 3: later for you. Yes, okay, so I got there. That
Speaker 3: that's how you get this, as long as they get.
Speaker 4: There, right. I had lost my son when I was
Speaker 4: around seventeen turning eighteen, and I kind of thought I
Speaker 4: was a dude for a little bit, and dude, yeah,
Speaker 4: I was on the streets, you know, doing things I
Speaker 4: wasn't supposed to be doing, hurting people because I wanted
Speaker 4: I don't know, I wanted everybody to feel how I
Speaker 4: was feeling at the moment.
Speaker 3: So you can basically throw a haymaker, yeah, you know
Speaker 3: the haymakers nice? Yeah, it's not nice, not nice. No,
Speaker 3: but you have to strength to throw it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And it's like like it's just like so much
Speaker 4: energy energy that you exert in a negative way, it's
Speaker 4: not even worth it. You have to leave people where
Speaker 4: they're at and learned that that's just their capacity they're
Speaker 4: in right now. And you can't do anything what control yourself?
Speaker 3: So from what age to what age were you running
Speaker 3: and doing all the.
Speaker 4: Bad, bad things from eighteen till I was like twenty four?
Speaker 3: Okay, so at fifteen sixteen you were normal whatever? Normal
Speaker 3: young girl was.
Speaker 4: Kind of I kind of transitioned once I went to
Speaker 4: high school and kind of got brought into the world
Speaker 4: of like being a grown up too fast.
Speaker 6: Basically, yeah, we've all been there, Yeah, and getting into
Speaker 6: things I shouldn't have been getting to, and I kind
Speaker 6: of got a little exposed, and you know, people didn't
Speaker 6: really like me and my brother so it was a
Speaker 6: lot of problems and even like why, well I don't
Speaker 6: know why, they just always you know, the dudes always
Speaker 6: had problems with my brothers, and I was always a
Speaker 6: wicked protective so whatever problems were theirs were mine as well.
Speaker 3: How what's the difference in age between you and your brothers?
Speaker 4: Ranging from like who's two to three? Five years some
Speaker 4: of them they are I'm the baby, I'm the youngest one.
Speaker 3: So but you stuck together as a family.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was I They never liked me to
Speaker 4: be a part of anything. But I just imagine your
Speaker 4: sibling getting hurt and you're just standing there like I
Speaker 4: couldn't do that.
Speaker 3: But would they better kids than you were? No, So
Speaker 3: everybody was the same because.
Speaker 4: They were ahead of me, so they had already gone
Speaker 4: into the what they gone into, and then here I
Speaker 4: come like, oh no, this isn't going to happen.
Speaker 3: They want you to be a good kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was up until high school and then I
Speaker 4: kind of like explode it. And then once my kids died,
Speaker 4: I just amplified it. I was like turnt up.
Speaker 3: And what about your mom and dad at that time
Speaker 3: trying to control embarrassed.
Speaker 4: They were just embarrassed and disappointed. Like my family come
Speaker 4: from a literal jungle. Like my parents made out of
Speaker 4: a jungle. My dad's a businessman.
Speaker 3: Sercise when you say they made out of a jungle.
Speaker 4: So Caverd is western, Yeah, okay, And it's ten islands
Speaker 4: in the middle of the ocean and most of it
Speaker 4: is like a jungle and then there's like parts of
Speaker 4: cities and stuff. It's very poor, especially back then they
Speaker 4: were just farming and stuff like that. Both my parents
Speaker 4: had to quit school and help their parents farm. Kind
Speaker 4: of a few clothes, one two pair of shoes deal.
Speaker 4: Growing up. They had it really hard. They came to
Speaker 4: this country when they were young, before they were twenty

Speaker 3: Okay, so they were immigrants, yes, and they came here
Speaker 3: the legal way.
Speaker 4: Legal way, and my dad brought over more than half
Speaker 4: of his family here. He got here, did what he
Speaker 4: was supposed to do, got a citizenship because back then,
Speaker 4: when you got your citizenship, you can bring someone. Then
Speaker 4: they have to go get the citizenship through the process
Speaker 4: and then they can get somebody else.

Speaker 3: Our languages.
Speaker 4: Yeah, cave Verdian. So I feel like like Bundia. It's
Speaker 4: like kind of like a broken down version of Creole,

Speaker 4: I just it's just amazing, Like my parents are just.
Speaker 3: You know, looking at you, and they're pretty face to you,
Speaker 3: as in I smile to think that you were throwing
Speaker 3: Haymakers back in the day.
Speaker 4: You know, I was such a.
Speaker 3: But you know, we all were punks in some form
Speaker 3: of our lives at some point. People that are honest, right, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: back in they seventies and eighties, we jammed up to
Speaker 3: I mean, but this is good. That was then. We
Speaker 3: weren't using guns and we weren't doing.
Speaker 4: What yeah what, you know, it's even worse. I'm thankful
Speaker 4: that I was around what I was around back then
Speaker 4: because now it's like, you're just gonna You're gonna die.

Speaker 4: a literal psychotic person. No one even said a word
Speaker 4: back to me. No, no, everybody in the cell. Yeah.

Speaker 4: part of a street gang whatever, like you have to
Speaker 4: also go through intake and stay in there or whatever.
Speaker 3: So you had your own streak gang that you were
Speaker 3: involved in.
Speaker 4: Basically, it was like I was attached to and I
Speaker 4: went out and I went they put me into the
Speaker 4: unit and I walk in and just say hey, hey, hi, everybode,
Speaker 4: I'm Melanie and nice to meet you, and not a
Speaker 4: person's at a word back. Okay, So I just went
Speaker 4: up to my style this year what myself was I
Speaker 4: literally didn't come out until the next morning. I come
Speaker 4: downstairs for a child that's what they would call a
Speaker 4: chow and someone throws like the newspaper on the table
Speaker 4: and they're like, how are you this normal and calm
Speaker 4: right now? And this is what you're in trouble for.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, because I didn't do nothing, girl, they
Speaker 4: were telling, yeah, me, I my problem. It'll get sorted out.
Speaker 4: Like I know, like you know the consequences that come
Speaker 4: with the things that you're doing as an as even
Speaker 4: a teen and adult, when you're raised correctly and you
Speaker 4: do things you're not supposed to be doing, you know, consciously, subconsciously,
Speaker 4: your conscience is always on your back. Like so you
Speaker 4: did have a conscious yes, But it was like I
Speaker 4: was just fighting it, like okay, like my I'm gonna
Speaker 4: leend my demons when I want to be mad. I
Speaker 4: want to feel this way because I don't want to
Speaker 4: feel the pain of losing my kid. Like I couldn't
Speaker 4: out my child, I couldn't do anything. I just sit
Speaker 4: there and let him pass away, you know. So it
Speaker 4: was like I didn't want to deal.
Speaker 3: With that at all and how they pass away.
Speaker 4: I basically had an infection in my universe, so I
Speaker 4: gave birth too early and then Rhode Island it's against
Speaker 4: a law of recessitated child that's under a certain amount
Speaker 4: of weeks. I was like one week, shy being five months,
Speaker 4: so they would have literally just crushed him if they
Speaker 4: try to like do CPR or anything like that.
Speaker 3: But that that that's in some states people board up
Speaker 3: to that age, right, Yeah, but this still affected you
Speaker 3: and just swung you the way it swung you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was not nice.
Speaker 3: Do you think you were going to go down that
Speaker 3: path either way? And that's your You're out.
Speaker 4: No, I wasn't. I was in college to be like
Speaker 4: criminal justice. I wanted to be like little a judge
Speaker 4: and like like Supreme Court and be changing laws and stuff. Yes,
Speaker 4: because look at the difference. Now I'm in the medical
Speaker 4: field and I want to be a trauma surgeon.
Speaker 3: Like, what do you think you went through a depression?
Speaker 3: What do you think happened to me?
Speaker 4: I think it was a depression mixed with a little
Speaker 4: bit of PTSD at a young age. Like once once
Speaker 4: my kid died, they made me go on birth control.
Speaker 4: I had no choice. I had to go see a
Speaker 4: psychiatrist automatically. I'm freaking seventeen, like just about to turn eighteen,
Speaker 4: and they're just like, oh, yeah, you're depressed. Here's some
Speaker 4: freaking fifty milligrams of sarah quill. You'll be isis and
Speaker 4: go to therapy. My parents are going to listen to
Speaker 4: other doctors. They're supposed to know what they're doing. They're
Speaker 4: supposed to give you a proper land.
Speaker 3: It sets you correctly that they don't.
Speaker 4: Seventeen year old on a fifty milligram dose of sarah quill.
Speaker 4: Are you delusional? It literally makes you feel like a zombie.
Speaker 4: You don't feel anything. You're just like an empty shell.
Speaker 4: And I feel like it made me even worse because
Speaker 4: now I can't feel nothing.
Speaker 3: Now there's no pain.
Speaker 4: It's like the Hulk at all times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, emotionless.
Speaker 4: It's not healthy. You people need to get in there
Speaker 4: to get through it and clean it up the freak up. Sorry,
Speaker 4: it's okay, you know what, you don't worry, but but
Speaker 4: it's like, come on, so you see the world for.
Speaker 3: What it really is. Yeah, I feel like at these
Speaker 3: meds are just it's almost like feel like it's like
Speaker 3: my third eye opened up. If I didn't go that
Speaker 3: route and I went to the justice system, like if
Speaker 3: I didn't go through the justice system to see what
Speaker 3: it was really like, I don't think I would have
Speaker 3: switched to even and even all my flick being close
Speaker 3: to who I was close with and losing who I lost,
Speaker 3: like watching people I love die like. I don't think
Speaker 3: I would have chosen the medical fields if I was
Speaker 3: already in the legal fields and it's like, okay, so
Speaker 3: now I'm gonna bring you back again. That's okay, No,
Speaker 3: this is good. I like this and people need to
Speaker 3: hear this because you did a three sixty in your
Speaker 3: life like most people can't even do. Most people can't
Speaker 3: change it up, and when they do, we call them, uh,
Speaker 3: what's it called? OG's right, the O g's try to
Speaker 3: come out. But you're young. The young will listen to you.
Speaker 3: You're only thirty years old. You're young. It's it's easy
Speaker 3: to listen to thirty year old than a six year
Speaker 3: old guy that tries to say you, look, I've been
Speaker 3: I've spent you know, ten cents in jail, blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: They don't kill these kids, they don't care. They're not listening.
Speaker 3: So now you're in jail for how long?
Speaker 4: I uh, it was thirty days. They sentenced me to
Speaker 4: ninety because they found me dangerous, and then my lawyer
Speaker 4: got me out in thirty days.
Speaker 3: And then the thirty days. Were you afraid to be
Speaker 3: there at all?
Speaker 4: No? Like I told you, I walked in sell hello
Speaker 4: to everybody. Like one person tried me, but I was
Speaker 4: just like, we can just go find you myself, but
Speaker 4: you better leave me the fuck alone after this. So
Speaker 4: that's it was. No one's gonna no and everyone it's
Speaker 4: so nuts. Everyone just treats me like a baby everywhere
Speaker 4: I go. Not the baby, but like like I don't
Speaker 4: know what the energy is of me or what I
Speaker 4: give off. It's just like everywhere I go, even at
Speaker 4: like work, I'm just not baby, but I'm just treated
Speaker 4: as like what a nice person, yeah, like a young
Speaker 4: little like they would do my hair and braids before
Speaker 4: my court days. They threaded my eyebrows for the woman
Speaker 4: liked you. Oh my god, they were so nice. They
Speaker 4: were all older than me. A lot of them have
Speaker 4: passed away. My Sally passed away. God bless us. So
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but.

Speaker 3: is that all overrated in jail?
Speaker 4: Or is it? Yes? It is? I feel like TV

Speaker 3: There wasn't one tough girl that want to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was one, but I told her we can
Speaker 4: go in the cell and fight right now, but it's
Speaker 4: about to be done. After that, you're not about to
Speaker 4: be antagonized and about to be nine olse like we're
Speaker 4: about to get that and that's it's done.
Speaker 3: And then you would have watched just kicked a Biden
Speaker 3: called it a day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then she was like, oh, I like you, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: what did you think I was about to make Like

Speaker 3: I don't know. We can't answer those questions. But we're
Speaker 3: gonna stay on mel story and stop going up by

Speaker 4: What happens when we get together.
Speaker 3: Okay, so bring it to me. You come home. Your
Speaker 3: two parents will love you, your auditor as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 3: you're rich right there because you're lucky to have him.
Speaker 3: All the dad right, yes, that love you and care
Speaker 3: about you, and they're trying to straighten you out but
Speaker 3: being oh my.
Speaker 4: God, one the best they could.
Speaker 3: Okay, So now what happens you come home? How old
Speaker 3: is your first brother when he passes?
Speaker 4: He was about twenty four and this was where what
Speaker 4: year twenty eleven?
Speaker 3: So he was twenty four twenty eleven? And how did
Speaker 3: he pass he was shot shot?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 3: Was he the one stying the trouble or ented into
Speaker 3: a trouble trying to break.
Speaker 4: Them and get both parties to end peacefully?
Speaker 3: And because those two parties ended peace when the pop pop,
Speaker 3: how he goes down?
Speaker 4: Yes, and.
Speaker 3: They know him, yes, they didn't want him to die. No,
Speaker 3: So what happens to the one that kills him? How
Speaker 3: long does he get for jail time? Ten and they
Speaker 3: still spend ten years? Or is the out out? That's it?
Speaker 3: Ten years because it's what it's still murder? Yeah, why
Speaker 3: do you only get ten years?
Speaker 4: That's it? My brother? Oh my brother, the one that
Speaker 4: got chop fifteen times and lived.
Speaker 3: Let's stay with one brother.
Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry, they don't get no time and then you
Speaker 4: have good time also as well. So yeah, they got
Speaker 4: ten years, but if they have good time, they get
Speaker 4: months chopped off their time, so they could come home
Speaker 4: anywhere from like seven six years eight? Why because they
Speaker 4: have good time they behaved in prison.
Speaker 3: But so you kill somebody, only get ten years in prison?
Speaker 3: What happens to the days that you got life?
Speaker 4: I don't They don't have that Massachusetts. That's why I
Speaker 4: wanted to be a judge in Supreme Court. They don't
Speaker 4: have Massachusetts. It is illegal. I mean not that I think. No.
Speaker 4: The stipulations for life is very difficult to gather on somebody,
Speaker 4: and they don't have what's one to murder someone? Now
Speaker 4: murder someone?
Speaker 3: But if you thought, okay, I'm only you're spent ten
Speaker 3: years in Gailman to murder somebody, that's not really like
Speaker 3: a long a time when you're fifteen, sixteen years old, eighteen.
Speaker 4: And then if you're fifteen and sixteen and you're committed
Speaker 4: to DYS, you're not going to real prison. You're going
Speaker 4: to DYS because you're committed till you're usually twenty one
Speaker 4: unless they literally fight for you. But if you're committed
Speaker 4: to you're twenty one with UYS, it's it's like you're
Speaker 4: ordering Chinese food, you're playing PS five yere chilling. Why
Speaker 4: wouldn't you do that? It's enabling you.
Speaker 3: And then your other brother go ahead.
Speaker 4: It was also shot.
Speaker 3: How well was she?
Speaker 4: He was twenty six.
Speaker 3: At the time, twenty six, two thousand and what.
Speaker 4: That one was twenty and fifteen? What was he doing
Speaker 4: getting ready to go out to a party? It was
Speaker 4: New Year's Eves?
Speaker 3: And what happened?
Speaker 4: He just was in the car with his friends and
Speaker 4: people pulled up and started shooting, and he got shot
Speaker 4: in the head. His friends trying to drive him to
Speaker 4: the hospital.
Speaker 3: But it was hold on too late. He's in a
Speaker 3: car with a group of friends.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: How he's twenty six, is going out New Year's Eve?
Speaker 3: Another gang? Was he part of a gang?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So another gang members pull up, yep, and they start
Speaker 3: shooting at this game. And this is going on right
Speaker 3: here in New Beije, in New Bedford. It doesn't even
Speaker 3: make the news. It made your local papers. Yeah, was
Speaker 3: this on Channel seventy five or four news? Either one
Speaker 3: of your brother's shootings?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: No, doesn't that seem weird?
Speaker 4: Of course they don't care, though. They They need these
Speaker 4: things to happen. They need chaos, They need chaotic That's
Speaker 4: why they brought crack into our communities back then. That's
Speaker 4: why if you notice that most of the banks and
Speaker 4: certain is in low income areas, they literally target from
Speaker 4: the get go. It's like a lifelong curse that everybody
Speaker 4: inherits a generation generation why, and everybody's like warped to
Speaker 4: make it look like it's school. You got rappers that
Speaker 4: are like it's our, it's our about my life. But
Speaker 4: it's like it's one thing to say that something is
Speaker 4: your art, but it's one thing to not turn your
Speaker 4: life around and still be doing what you're doing and
Speaker 4: not you know what I mean, still putting that image
Speaker 4: out or you know what I mean, Like it's just
Speaker 4: fed into these kids every day. I feel so bad
Speaker 4: for them.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't fed into you and your brothers.
Speaker 4: No, I chose that I had a choice.
Speaker 3: Okay, So one brother breaks up a fight, he definitely
Speaker 3: doesn't deserve that. No, the other brother isn't a gang
Speaker 3: and and he didn't deserve that either. So there were
Speaker 3: no gangs killing each other back then. There was no retaliation.
Speaker 3: This wasn't They just shot up them.
Speaker 4: And I still don't even know why.
Speaker 3: Did they ever find out who did that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're still out away. I'm pretty sure they both
Speaker 4: got life.
Speaker 3: Did they? So did you get to did you get
Speaker 3: to go to the court?
Speaker 4: I didn't go to any of that.
Speaker 3: No, I can't parents.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So coming from from parents that have lost a child
Speaker 3: at twenty eight years old to a sudden death, and
Speaker 3: watching the demise of my parents, how do your parents
Speaker 3: bury two children and ever be the same or they're
Speaker 3: not the same, or you you have a sister? Right?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, sure, and so it's just you left like me,
Speaker 3: we're orphans, right, So they had to pick up all
Speaker 3: the pieces for them. Since the age of what.
Speaker 4: I was young, let me seey eleven, I was still
Speaker 4: I was about to graduate high school. Next.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you went to jail. Then you come out
Speaker 3: of jail, and that's when the football got thrown to
Speaker 3: you and you need to pick it up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then I had just lost, like I got
Speaker 4: kicked out of college and all that because I was
Speaker 4: in a criminal justice program at the time. I got
Speaker 4: out of my program. Had to just kind of start
Speaker 4: from scratch. Nobody would hire me.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let me go back. Both brothers died by
Speaker 3: twenty six. The last one dies.
Speaker 4: You're how old the last one I died? So I
Speaker 4: was a fifteen, I was twenty. Oh my god, what
Speaker 4: is it twenty twenty four? I'm not gonna have math girl.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's okay. What's the difference in age between you
Speaker 3: and your brother?
Speaker 4: It's about only like four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So let's say you were twenty two. At twenty two,
Speaker 3: were you out of jail by then? Yes, as you
Speaker 3: came out of jail, he passes. How long afterwards? The
Speaker 3: other brother passes before you go to jail?
Speaker 4: No? That yeah, he passed away before I went to jail,
Speaker 4: and the other one after after, and then when I
Speaker 4: got came home. It was probably maybe like two three
Speaker 4: years after Yeah, right, head talking, Sorry, maybe like two
Speaker 4: to three years after I came home that happened.
Speaker 3: And is that when you decide I need to fly
Speaker 3: straight or when you go out of jail.
Speaker 4: No, when I got out of jail, I tried my
Speaker 4: best to do what I needed to do. One of
Speaker 4: my friends ended up taking me to church New Life
Speaker 4: South Coast in New Bedford, and I was still doing
Speaker 4: bad things on the streets, you know, trying to make
Speaker 4: money at least. And I used to like, the first

Speaker 4: I went back to school and they paid for it.
Speaker 4: I went to Roxburgh Community College, but I learned while

Speaker 4: nurses like they saw how good I was and they
Speaker 4: wanted to help me learn. So we had a dummy
Speaker 4: and then they would let me practice on.
Speaker 3: Them on them. Yeah, stick a needle in my vein.

Speaker 3: going to work every day, you're in Brigham's. And now
Speaker 3: what's the relationship like with you? Your mom and dad?
Speaker 4: So much more healthier. I wish sometimes that I could
Speaker 4: take back how much of an I was back then,
Speaker 4: and like, like, you know, cause your parents are your
Speaker 4: God's gift. You know what I'm saying. People don't get
Speaker 4: that every day, and to have parents that just try
Speaker 4: every day and do their best with you, it's just
Speaker 4: amazing and it shouldn't be taking for granted. And I
Speaker 4: feel like I took it for granted. Like before my
Speaker 4: grandma daed, she'd always tell me that, like, make sure
Speaker 4: you take care of your mom. Make sure you take
Speaker 4: care of your mom. Like it makes you want to cry,
Speaker 4: because like my mom's such a good person, you know,
Speaker 4: and like I can't wait to eventually retire her so
Speaker 4: she won't got to work, like, you know, just being
Speaker 4: my friend, never judging me, always loving me, like everybody
Speaker 4: was talking shit about me. She saw who I was,
Speaker 4: you know, from the beginning. It's never a doubt.
Speaker 3: So your mom knew you'd come out of this crazy stage.
Speaker 4: She knew what I was like made for so to
Speaker 4: my grandmother. My grandmother literally didn't die until the day
Speaker 4: my first day of orientation I got. I got the
Speaker 4: job at Brigham on my birthday. I got my badge
Speaker 4: on my birthday, May nine, six years ago, and the
Speaker 4: day of my orientation, my mom called me two hours
Speaker 4: into it, like your grandma's we're gonna save the body,
Speaker 4: hurry up and get here. And they even pushed my
Speaker 4: orientation like further from me. They like, oh my God,
Speaker 4: Like it was crazy. It was like, how is that
Speaker 4: not God right there showing you. Here, you are your
Speaker 4: introduction to life. Now stay to the right and don't
Speaker 4: go left anymore, like come on.
Speaker 3: And that's all it took. Oh, that craziness. And all
Speaker 3: we do is put you in church three years, four
Speaker 3: years prior to that, and you would have went.
Speaker 4: There, like I just focused on people who loved you.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you have to have bad really good yeah, and
Speaker 3: then sometimes yeah, that's life. And then sometimes to know good,
Speaker 3: you gotta feel bad. Then you can pick out which
Speaker 3: which is something to compare. So I want the feeling
Speaker 3: of good, I want the feeling of bad. Then there
Speaker 3: are people like me that vicariously move through everybody because
Speaker 3: I can. That's part of being a cancer. With your
Speaker 3: brothers knew that. They knew that. So they were really
Speaker 3: good souls. I know they were.
Speaker 4: They were. My cards were like I have a video
Speaker 4: I once to go see Maureen Hancock and she literally
Speaker 4: is like, oh, you're not You're not dying anytime soon, sorry,
Speaker 4: because oh no, yeah, nobody knows that though, how would
Speaker 4: you know that.
Speaker 3: She's that spiritual woman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's I told you to go there, girl, told
Speaker 4: you to look that up. Well, you're going to take
Speaker 4: amazing again. I love that she's amazing. They literally were
Speaker 4: like you are made for so much more. It's not
Speaker 4: your time and it won't be for a long time.
Speaker 4: Like we miss you too, but you have way too
Speaker 4: much to do.
Speaker 3: That's your brother's talking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was crazy. It was the craziest experience. We
Speaker 4: have to go. You have to go.
Speaker 3: And now you were saying to me in the hospital
Speaker 3: when we met that you literally wait for your dad
Speaker 3: now to come home from work to make sure he's safe,
Speaker 3: and you feel that's your responsibility to make sure he
Speaker 3: gets in that house.
Speaker 4: Everybody. It just makes me like it's so crazy because
Speaker 4: it's like after losing so many people, I feel like
Speaker 4: you just get scared, Like it's just like an anxiety,
Speaker 4: like you just expect a ball to drop or something
Speaker 4: to happen, Like every year I've lost someone, it's like
Speaker 4: it's like a domino effect almost. It's like like so
Speaker 4: it's like you get stuck in.
Speaker 3: That, you know, and I hold your mom and dad.
Speaker 4: My mom is fifty five, my dad is fifty four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you still want to make sure that you
Speaker 3: think you can keep them safe forever forever.
Speaker 4: You can't be selfish, I know, but yeah, forever. That's
Speaker 4: not being selfish, Like you know, like what's that? What
Speaker 4: was that? Found the founding.
Speaker 2: Youth out of the youth?
Speaker 3: I wish I had the fountain of youth too. So
Speaker 3: you want your parents around you for a long time?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I want to make it up, you know,
Speaker 4: like I want to make it up to them. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Like they came from nothing from me for me, like
Speaker 4: and my siblings, like like my whole family, like my aunts,
Speaker 4: my uncle's, like they all raised us, like you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like we was raising that whole school setting.
Speaker 4: They all dropped us off at my name in his house,
Speaker 4: like they all went to work, like you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, Like my name always taught us, Like this
Speaker 4: is who God gave you to do life with.
Speaker 3: You take care of me from a family of hard
Speaker 3: working people.
Speaker 4: Hard working God driven people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody's doing anything illegal.
Speaker 4: So the next channel, Oh yeah, it's embarrassing, bro, Like

Speaker 4: Like your parents do the best that they can do,
Speaker 4: and whatever they instill in you doesn't mean that you're
Speaker 4: gonna have a perfect life. You still can take that left.
Speaker 3: You're right, that's why good kids come out of bad
Speaker 3: homes and bad kids can come out.

Speaker 3: at the end of the day, water seeks its own level,
Speaker 3: and you're seeking a whole different level of water. Now
