Yesterday I got a call from someone I haven't seen or talk to since the 6th grade(Da'lante), talking to him brought back alot of memories, good ones and bad ones. Besides me remembering the times I spent with him, I also had memories of someone who was like a father to me, who died last year.
Last year I was at a convention at the Washington Capital passing out water, help clean up after it was over, and having a good time. Two days after that I got a call from my best friend, she was crying on the phone telling me that Mr.Thomson died two days ago. Mr.Thomson was my 6th grade teacher, I knew him ever since I moved from New York to Maryland at a young age (3 years). Nowing that those two days ago I was at the convention having a good time, flirting with boys, and even I was talking about him too, made me fell bad. I was talking about him on the day he died, and having a good time too. I felt awful for the rest of the week.
Sitting in school on day I remember the last time I saw him. During the summer I was doing some community service at my old school(the school were he teached at) after I finish I walked out to find him sitting on a bench smoking a cigarette(like always) we talked for about half and hour until he told me to go home, he didn't want me to be out late and besides it looked like it was about to rain. I never though that, that was the last time I was ever going to see.
The news about his death spread quickly, everyone in tears and everyone remembed the times they had with him. People who act up and gave him a rough time were really upset. We all remember how he always fall to sleep in class and the time he fell out his chair while he was sleeping. We remember the stories he told us and about the times he had when he was a kid. I remember the times he mad fun of me when I was going out with my now called friend Da'lante.
He was in his 60's when he died. To me thats a young age for anyone to die. I know he is in a better place right now, looking down at all of us. I miss he dearly and wish that he was still around.
heart Mr.T shall be missed and is loved dearly by all, may you rest in peace heart
