Content warning: This story discusses trauma and violence.
I woke up to an unpleasant reality on Sunday, July 11.
My sister is gone
My sister
her name is Vanessa
It’s shocking
I don’t know who
I don’t know what
and I don’t know why
The how is tragic
She got shot in the head
Her brains blew out
It’s a lot for me
I am having the motions of emotions
That is an unexpected loss
She was a daughter of our strong mother
She was a twin to my sister Valarie
….and Valarie had been missing last year August
It’s a lot going on but Vanessa deserves justice
I agree it is wild
I agree whoever and whatever
that this didn’t have to happen
She met her dad
He passed away when she an’ her twin were 15
She met our grandad on our mother’s side as well
He passed away when he was younger
I have to say R.I.P to my sister
Dang though, the damage is done
I got to bury my sister — I don’t wish that on nobody
It’s tuff and it’s going to be ruff
I want justice for my sister
Whoever did this must take responsibility
for this tragic death
During this reality blow it’s a very humbling time for my family… so I also want to give some shout outs:
- I want to say “Happy Birthday!” to my mom this cancer season.
- Eboni finally got to eat her cake for doing her thing in school getting As on her report card!
