My dearest friend Ajeenah Bey passed way almost a year ago from a heart attach caused by a blood clot. I've yet to REALLY deal with her death. We met each other in high school, she being a year younger then me, in our African Haitian Dance class and have been friends ever since. She even set me up with her boyfriends best friend. We had a lot of double dates
She was one of those people, that no matter what was going on with her, she had your back. I remember many phone calls that lasted for hours and hours, talking about nothing. I was so proud of her when she decided to get her B.A. and was almost done and was even happy when she decided to pledge DST at her university (never made it
)
My family knew her family well and would spend some holidays together. It pains me even today to think of her, when ever I go back to CA to visit my family, I HAVE to stop by her mothers house and talk to her urn.
I have never lost anyone close to me. I've been blessed to have such a wonderful friend and when ever I think about or tell stories about Oakland, CA or high school or just home , I realize she is my story.
