#ThePact

As I can so vividly recall, never has anger or evil intentions been quick to entertain your tongue. You are the person I look to for brotherly advice. You were that coach who taught me the importance of teamwork. You taught me how to manually operate a vehicle, how chess is played, and most importantly, you sat by my side and explained the game of life. My Brother, You're the only reason I'm able to differentiate and understand my prodigal existence. As close as we could come to one another, was by cosmic fate, the date of our birth. Yours being sept. 18th, and mine, sept. the 19th. This was always something I took notice of and much pride in. Even though you were already established, as a baby you took me in. I know you can hear my heart beating in gratitude, Thank you, my dearest Brother...

My belief system has always been in sync with the strength in spirituality you could only display. Although many times in our lives, a distance was put between us We always found our way back to one another. Our connection was and still is stronger than ever. My dear Brother, you now reside on a different plane of existence. I know you have prepared for me a remarkable seat at that Grand table. I can't wait to join my brother in that lifelong mission we accepted. The Pact. The responsibility of our Family's redemption. My calling has always lived in my big brothers' shadow. Yes, you should know this.....

Today I have the utmost confidence in what we believe and consider survival of the wittiest! A proverbial outlook of understanding of life, and its quirks. Our brotherly bond has always been first. A relationship to withstand any confusion or turmoil. The faith & belief you had and have in me is more heartfelt than any words of endearment could have been. I truly owe this vow of appreciation to my biggest influence, Donald Leon Ellis.

The talents you possess are unmatched, thank you for the commendable attempt to preserve our brotherhood. The knowledge you passed so unselfishly, has maturely settled in me. The artistry you hold and the professionalism is of the highest entertainment. I can vividly remember the passion you had for the performing arts. I've taken to heart the imagination you had, and the place holds in the universe. The information you shared is of the most importance. I know for a fact I'D given up a long, long time ago if not for your unconditional guidance. Many times I've encountered evil intentions and overcame them because of the lessons you taught the kid. Thank you, my brother. The rain was intense but after the storm that rainbow was amazing! That powerful feeling of healing would not feel as good, if not for the pain I had to endure.

My brother, I was moved to think of someone I admired enough to bestow a hero. Unsung and from the heart of the home. You've been that idea. The force or even spirit that drives me premeditatedly. Granted I'll never have every attribute and talent you possess. In fact, I only claim to know 45% of what was in store for me. I can only now imagine and listen to the early morning suggestions. I pray you to speak in the wind and always guide me to success.

Inspirational to say the least. A prophetical pillar in our village. I cherish the countless memories we have. The positive impact of mentorship was prominent. Yes, you made an enormous impact on me, Thank You.
