lice, and recently lost my dad in october of 2009 to heart surgery, its been a rough five years for me and my only brother left jason. i look at life alot differently now, what i used to care about and thought was important i now dont. no one can imagine what that feels like until something like this happens, i really dont think i have feelings sometimes anymore. i just go forward and go through the routines and make a living for me and my family, i have always felt like an outcast in my family, not just me but my imediate family, always felt like we didnt fit in b.c. we were too poor. i have friends though that i feel are like family to me, because they didnt seem to mind.any way i was raised poor and feel im a better man for it, i never relly felt i had to have the newest stuff, or the newest shoes or clothes or cars, if u did then good for u, not too important to me, any way i live in bassett , va now and am running ragged with my kids now that they are in school. love all my school friends even if they dont really remember me, i still remember u. RIP Big Creek.".
