Lunchin! Gettin ready for a party!

My line brother's birthday was the other day, November 13, 2009, so naturally I was excited for him. In the middle of the day, I was on Facebook and I figured I'd go to to his page and write on his wall before I texted or called him for his birthday. Then I saw his status! :(

It read...

Bo Jackson is thankful for my 25th bday! But I'm glad you lived to see 88! I LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU GRANNY! thanks for raising Bo Jack! 7-8-22 to 11-13-09 R.I.P.20 hours ago

As soon as I read his status, my heart became heavy. My boy who I met in college even before we crossed A Phi A together had to go through something so tragic on his 25th birthday. I immediately began to think about how good life could be one day and then the during that same day life can send you on a rollercoaster of emotions.

So first, I prayed for him and his family and then I began to think of all the good times Bo and I had in college. Here area few pictures to show how much fun we have when we get together. Bo and I crossed A Phi A in Fall of 2003. I'm the 7 and Bo is the 5 of our line.

I remember one time when I got mad at Bo. I had some Mrs. Fields chocolate cookies that I had saved and stashed at my other line brother, Roc's house. My entire line frequented Roc's house often for one common reason and one common goal. '06! So anyway, when I was in class, I couldn't wait to get to Roc's house to open my bag of cookies. Everybody knows about Mrs. Fields cookies. Oh boy... when I got to Roc's house and opened that kitchen cabinet and so that there were only like 3 cookies left....whew!!! I already knew who to go after! I couldn't killed Bo! I was so mad!

But then...the phone rang, sounding that God awful ringtone that we all dreaded hearing! Then it was time...if you are in a fraternity or sorority, then you know what phone call I'm talking about. Well, let not assume you know...some have never heard that call before!

Happy Belated Birthday Bo!
