"So what, I am still joining."
I never said that things would work out. And I never said that the worst would never happen to a guy like me. All I said was that, I am going in there, lace up that gear and do the best damn job I could do.
A lot of people have been against me signing up to be an LEO. But this is what I want to do. To me, it's not about the money. And you know what, if things don't workout, then there's always something else. I am a writer too.
It's been a reallly tough year for me and the family. A lot of sh*t has hit us really hard in the stomach. I been to two funerals last month in August (Uncle, Brother). Brother was diagnosed with cancer back in December 07 and died this past August, he was 28. Uncle had diabetes for years, died in August. Pop had a stroke last year in 07; still getting around. Mom is on the verge of retirement but she's still getting around good.
Moments before my brother died, I asked him if he would have a problem with me joining law enforcement knowing that I was the last sibling left and he shook his head "No." Out of everybody I talked to, he was the only one who I could really talk to about joining without any negativity being given back. He always use to say, "I think you'll do good. I think you could be a really good detective."
Now he's gone, but not forgotten. I wear my cross around my neck in Jesus name and in the honor of my brother's memory & spirit. I know he's watching over me and I am going to go out there and give it all I got.
The academy is next month. I been in the process since March and I am just awaiting for that phonecall. Ya'll say a prayer for ol' Boy. I am 25, I am trying to find out where I belong...
