In the late 80's I would pass by while he was still living with his mum.

I use to always want to go into his room, like a little brother not aloud in his big brothers room. 😊

For me at that age it was and felt like it was my older brothers room, he had his game console Atari, his perfume, his clothes and basketball posters, and trainers.

I would look around his room in an amazement, I wanted to touch everything.

He never knew this because I dont ever share my feelings or emotions, but I did look up to Michael alot when I was young, I even started liking basketball and playing it, only because of him, playing for my school only because he played basketball and he was the only role model I had as a man even though I wasnt around him alot.

I had no other role model other than him.

If he was home and about to go out 😁😂 he would say to me you can play a game but dont touch my stuff ,and remembering back now makes me laugh because as soon as he left I touched everything.

I hated football and loved basketball only because of Michael and even to this day I love basketball more than football even though I've losted the caring to know about the detail within the sport.

My uncle Michael it's sad to know that you've gone I wish there was less politics between me and your sibling , I would've tried hater to be around you more.

I'm sorry for that and I'm going to have to live with it now not seeing you.

My Love my all your nephew😭❤❤❤
