"On a day like this... 18yrs ago today, some person decided to take your life away. But he kept you from ever fading away from our hearts. I miss you my brother my best friend, my mentor.
Thanks for teaching me what I know today. Take care of mao, dad, and Eddah, and always keep praying for me. #k-rupt"
