The Perfect Life.

Welcome back to reality, Jeremey.

When I woke up this morning I took a shower washed my hair in the shower and than brushed my teeth. Today I decided not to do my hair because I was really tired. After I got ready and put my clothes and shoes on I made my bed. After that I went on the side of my bed and got to my knees and started to pray to God.

Dear God,

Thank you for waking me up this morning and blessing me. I ask that you continue to bless me with your heart soul and mind. God, I ask that you watch over my family and I today. And God, I ask that you continue to heal me and my family. Dad and Todd, we miss you down here and we pray that you're always watching over us. In Jesus name.

Amen.

We never got to fully meet My name is Jeremy Martin jr. I am named after my dad. I have 2 younger sisters in 9th grade. I am a Junior at GHHS. I am Puerto Rican and black(my mom is black and my father is Puerto Rican) I am 6'3 and I play basketball and football. I'm single because I don't have time for girls you know with school and stuff... One interesting and sad fact about myself is that I'm not the oldest child. I have brother named Todd but he died. My father also died too. They both died about 1 year ago. And I feel really guilty about it. It was during the winter and I had a basketball game. My dad and Todd were coming to watch me and the game was away. It was about 45 minutes away. Anyways, they were coming to watch me play because we were going against our rivals and its like you don't want to miss a rival game. They were turning a green light when a car came out of nowhere and hit them making the car flip over. My dad died at the scene. But Todd? He was still alive fighting for his life. He died 3 days later. Never will I never not feel guilty about that day. Well my team and I won the game that day. I like to think they were with me through that. So, I play basketball for them and every game I win is for them every point or free throw or three I make is for them. I just wish they were here with me through this. I really wish Todd wasn't hurt, he would've been on the court with me that day. I really miss playing with him.

I went downstairs and sat on the couch waiting for Tanya and Sophia to come down the stairs, they always take long but it doesn't really bother me. They're both cheerleaders on varsity(as freshman I know right?) But I think my family has things for sports because during my sophomore  year I was on Varsity for basketball so eh..  "Hey guys good morning." I say as I walk up to them to give them a hug. We do this every morning ever since my dad and brother died that has brought us so much closer. And I just thank God every day for keeping my younger sisters safe.

"Morning." They said as they sit their things down on the floor.

"Is mom awake yet? She said she was taking us to school today?" I asked.

"Yeah she said she would be down in 15 minute and she said what time is your game today?"

"Oh okay I'll tell her when she comes downstairs."

I don't think my mom ever fully recovered from my dad and Todd dying. I mean that's not something you recover from. I know that hit her hard.

"Hey mom good morning, my game is at 7:00 tonight, are you coming?" I say walking towards her hugging her.

"Yeah of course I kind of have to come."

So tonight is senior night for my class(That's where they honor seniors that play basketball) And Todd would've been a senior and this would be his night to shine. So tonight I'll be starting the game for him. I really hope I can do this right and not mess this up. I just really want to make everybody proud.

"Okay kids hurry up and get in the car I don't want you guys to be late." My mom said as she walked out the door.
