I don't know how to feel. I'm glad this work is over, but I'm not ready to move on and say goodbye. I'm not trying to see my father laying there for the last time.

"Head up, Soulja. We in this together." My uncle Keem nudged me.

"And that's a forever commitment." Uncle Dee held onto Brooklyn and Brandi.

"I don't wanna do this, man. I'd rather stay here." Brooklyn whined.

"That's your daddy, baby. Just come say goodbye and if you want to leave early, I'll walk out with you." Tee hugged her.
