" Hey Uncle Shoota." Lani said, as she crouched to the ground. Today it had been officially 7 years since he passed away.

" I miss you so so much and I wish you could come back. But I know that you're watching over me and making sure I'm good. I've gotten like 3 Player of the games, by the end of the season I want to see if I can get 5, because I know that's your favorite number." she chuckled.

" Oh and I have a boyfriend now, his name is Damien but we all call him Dae Dae. He's so nice to me and he makes me feel so safe and secure. He kind of reminds me of you, he's really goofy and he's really good at basketball. I- I think I love him, and I mean like a lot. He's just so different from Kamal and it's just so refreshing. I wish you could meet him.

Oh and I have a god daughter now. Her name is Sienna , she's one years old and she's just so cute. I feel like I'm turning into you." she chuckled.

" Every time I see something for kids , I feel like I have to buy it for her. I think I get that from you, I remember every time you came to our house you would always bring me new clothes or new toys." she said, before she felt tears stream down her face.

" Why you?" she said, voice getting shaky.

" You were so hard on the streets but you had such a soft spot for us. You were like a second dad to me, anytime I needed someone to talk to you were there. Sometimes I feel so lost, because I just want to have one more conversation. I didn't even get to say bye because when I saw you, you were already gone. I just wanna hear your voice one more time, please. I love you Uncle Shoota and I'll never forget you." Lani said, blowing a kiss to the head stone.

" Royal I don't know how much longer I can live in that house." Morgan expressed.

" What happened?" Royal asked.

" Ever since y'all bought me the car my mama just been salty and saying slick shit. Like when I first came home , Mari asked if he could ride in it and she was like ' No she thinks she's too good for us'. Like where did you even get that from, then this lady had the nerve to ask me to take her somewhere because her car wasn't working. So me being the good child I am I took her, why when I picked her up she gone say I need to leave the car here when I go back to school, so she can use it. How many times did she let me borrow her car when I needed to go to work?" Morgan explained.

" Well you know you always have a room here." Royal said.

" Royal can we go to Auntie Leah house ?" Amir asked, opening Royal's door.

" Oh hey, Morgan." he waved.

" Hi Amir." Morgan chuckled.

" Amir they're not home, we talked about this. Remember they're in London until New Years, we literally have this talk every year." Royal said, shaking her head.

" Ok well can we go to Auntie Icyss house ?" he asked.

" Amir, you have two parents go ask them." Royal said, shooing him out of her room.
