In Spring 2006 I took a job at the Target that’s downtown off 7th street and Carrol. It was my first job and I didn’t have a car yet so I would get dropped off by my mother every night before our midnight shift started. One night when I got there, I noticed that we had a bunch of new recruits for the night shift. I looked them all over but one person out of the bunch looked familiar to me. I didn’t know his name, but he looked familiar. I didn’t say anything to him but I said to myself that I remembered him from my Jr. high days, I wondered if he remembered me too. A few days or a few weeks pass(I don’t remember how long) while working in the stock room, he turns and asks me if I went to Meadowbrook and I say yes, confirming that he does remember me. 

After that, we sort of became friends. We high sided. We talked about Coach Bowler and how he “stayed on him” and pushed him to graduate. We roasted the managers up there. He mentioned how he wanted to play for the NBA. My last memory of him was the day that he came back up there on Payday to get his last check. I was standing on the bus stop and Eric pulls up. I asked him where he been and he said he had quit. It was just a summer job, he was about to go to college. My very last memory of him was when he rolled slowly over the train tracks so he doesn’t  bend his brother’s 23” rims on that Monte Carlo. 

It’s been 9 years since you passed on and it still breaks my heart whenever I think about you and how you never got to play for the NBA and how you never got to live your life.

You offered me a ride one day, but I said I’ll catch the bus instead. Maybe had I taken you up in your offer things would have turned out differently six years later. I miss you and I hope your okay.
