A small memory i will always remember

35 years old, 2 daughters a beautiful wife that never left him. A good singing/rapping career, a caring father, a not to say very religious guy but goes to his holy place to pray, nothing could have been better. That's Cornell's life. Nothing could take anything away from. He and his wife fought but no marriage is perfect and his kids are the most precious jewels to him. Cornell was about to meet up with one of the biggest names in the music industry, Jimmy Page, a member of the all time famous Led Zeppelin. But the anxiety was just killing him, he never had an opportunity like this before, to go across the country to the beautiful Seattle.

The man from Miami just reaching for the door, but as he reaches the door, he sees his little girl by the doorstep holding a locket in her hand with a picture of her in it. Her eyes tearing up but Cornell knows that his little daughter is holding the tears back because she swore she wouldn't shed a tear anymore at her grandmother's death bed about a year ago when she was 11. Cornell knelt down and took a good look at her. He looked at her and saw her form the eyes of her mother right down to her brand new converse shoes. He knew she didn't want him to leave to Seattle and leave her. But this is what he had to do to bring back the food on the table. His daughter Rebecca was looking at him and from afar, he saw his wife, Layla and his 4 year old daughter Lizzie by the playground having fun. Rebecca couldn't quite understand why he couldn't have just stayed in Miami and continue what he had there. But Cornell took her by the hand, led her to her mom, and just before he left, he looked into her eyes, wiped the bound to be tears laying there, kissed her on the forehead and told her, 'I'm always right here in your heart and I promise I'll return and take care of you again'.

Fast forward just an hour later, Cornell was at the airport without his family because he couldn't stand watching anyone cry. He got up aboard to his airplane about to sit in his 2,000 journey. Just as he sat on the plane, he looked down and couldn't believe the sight he saw. His own Rebecca was holding a cardboard stating "I Love You Dad" by the side of her mother and her little sister. Cornell was so tempted to turn back and give them a hug again but he knew he couldn't as the plane was about to board. He couldn't sleep in the plane but he remained just looking at the locket and the picture of his daughter inside it and thought about the memories that was and will come.

The next thing he knew, Cornell was in the studio with other stars like Bon Jovi, Steven Tyler and so many more. Humbled himself and just sat in the corner to wait for his for his turn. He talked to a few of the guys there but when he went in the studio to record his new song, he realized that he couldn't hold back but to call his daughter just for her to say i love you to her again. After the phone call, filled with emotion, Jimmy Page decided that Cornell was a different emotional state and should do a rather slower song than to do a rap song and said to Cornell that music is an expression of one's feelings. Cornell thought long and hard and finally did a cover of Lonestar's I'm already there. He took about 3 months before he could publish and album of his own called My Life with My Daughter and the album was filled with the emotion of heart missing his family. After all of that it was time to go home. Back to the family he knew and loved and wanted to be with. But as he reached the airport a man gave him a letter that he didn't read till he got on the plane.

As he read the message, he broke into tears when it said his wife had been killed in a car accident and his smallest daughter had been in the hospital and is being taken care off but had serious injuries. However, no news of his other daughter Rebecca. He went to the men's room and cried out to God and asked why they had to live this way and just poured his heart out and so badly wanted to take their place but unfortunately that could not happen. He was mad and furious until he heard a gentle familiar voice and looked up a little and saw the eyes that were so dear to him and the person said to him, 'I kept my promise to grandma and didn't cry. Its time you keep yours to me'

Youngsters

"I'm finally here" says the young footballer. Eager like a beaver and waiting for him to make his first start to his new club. Only 17, yet scouted by many clubs and waiting for him to play a minute on the pitch to make an impact. 50,000 people watching, his heart is pounding, he's training but the coach isn't looking to put him in the match. 75 out of the full 90 minutes already been played but still no sign of Joshua Phillips. The scouts are beginning to think their time on the flights were about to be wasted. 2-1 down and Coventry need to tie this match up to win the Championships. But the tough defence of Burnley isn't going easy on them. 80 minutes, then 85, suddenly the blow of the ref's whistle silenced the crowd.

The Commentator's words are playing through the P.A, "number 18 Jermain J. for number 46. Joshua Phillips" and the crowd goes wild. The whole stadium filled with 50,000 seats on a full house day and for that single moment, neither young or old were filling even one of the seats. Joshua or JP for short is up and running. His pace is remarkable and his finishing is beautiful but has it been to late for the coach? Perhaps not. The pass is made, a defence splitting one as well. JP makes his move, he runs for the ball.

His first touch beautiful, his second a wonderful shot, the ball goes up and above the keeper and.... ITS A GOAL! Magnificent play by the young Englishman. He takes of his shirt and his undershirt displaying a well known footballer, Micheal Phillips. Coventry tied things up 2-2. The match ends. Coventry won it! they won the Championship match!!!!
The Man of the Match, JP is interviewed.


"Amazing goal JP. How would this affect you in your upcoming matches? This match for the fans, huh"

JP simply replied, "Lets just say this was a very important match for all of us and I'm glad we could tie it up in time." He looks at his watch and begins to look worried. He quickly rushes off not even staying for the after party.

Driving down the street JP stops at a hospital nearby.

He goes in the hospital and asks the nurse for the key to the room 121. The nurse, recognizing him, hands the key over and continues with her work. He quickly rushes to the room down the corridor and places the key in the key hole and turns the knob. There lays a man around his mid-50s lying on the bed, motionless but not dead. JP gets a call from his coach requesting to know where he is. JP just replied, "I'm busy. Its kinda important. Tell you later."


In his bag, JP has a couple of tapes. He reaches for the DVD player and places the tapes in it. It was a highlight of his goal that drew the match about an hour ago. Nurses gathers and tells him its almost time. JP's knees felt weak. As if he was about to cry, he knelt to his knees and lay by the man's bedside. He whispered in his ear that the goal, the highest point of his career so far meant nothing if he had to lose someone he dearly cared about. The nurses carries the man away from the room and brings him to the surgery room. JP was tired but he tried his best to stay up.


The surgery was a success and everything felt like a relive for JP. His heart aches were gone. His worries for the man was all gone. He threw his arms to the man in the happiest mood. As they were leaving, they headed for the front door. Locked. A loud banging sound is coming from the door.

JP woke up and realized it was a dream. He looked in the room. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Nurses, doctors, all rushing. He saw a doctor using a defibrillator on the man. He dropped to his knees and he cried. He looked back into the room hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. He stopped. He saw the doctor shaking his head. It was all over. Too much to endure JP ran out straight to his car with tears flowing, headed straight for a shop at the end of town. He took out his credit card and bought a piece of land. He cried himself to sleep. But although so, he went to practice wearing a smile on his face, hiding his true emotions and hiding the real story. A week after, he dug a grave for the man. As one of his teammates were passing by, he helped JP out although JP didn't want the help. After explaining most of the story, his teammate left because he was late for a private practice.

JP, held his own funeral for the man. Alone, he placed the man in the coffin, buried him but not yet putting dirt over the coffin. He said a last prayer and alone he screamed to the skies "Why me God?" but a voice from behind shocked him. It was his teammate and the rest of the football team along with the players from all around the league coming to the funeral to pay respects to the man. They all looked in the coffin and knew exactly who it was. Curious, they asked JP why he did this all alone. He simply replied that he knew this man who well. At the speech, everyone gave a single sentence and about 3,000 of them showed up and filled the land. Then up stepped JP. His words were a little something like this:


"To all, thank you for coming around even if i didn't ask you to. I know maybe i shouldn't have been naive and do this alone but perhaps i should have looked for your advice and see if it was relevant. But this man here wasn't just an ordinary man. To you he may just look like one. But deep inside, he's is totally different. He is extraordinary and a wonderful man. The reason I stand here today is because of that man right there. Micheal Phillips as you all would know was an excellent footballer but he was also a great dad. I love him very much"


After the burial, the same teammate came up to him and said, Your dad was extraordinary. And so are you.

JP was stunned and questioned why

The teammate just replied, wherever you go, whatever you do, you are never alone. It may feel like the end of the world. But there are many more things in life that will hurt you even worse. When you shouted up to the sky, Why Me God? I think maybe god has given me the answer. It maybe because this is how God is showing you, wherever you are, you will have friends that has the same beliefs as you and maybe God is just saying to you, you will never be alone even if you feel like it. Maybe the answer to your question is just "because God put you with friends that will build up your strength and power until you're back on your feet again."


Maybe this post is confusing to all. Why would Brandon post this. no this isn't from a book, its original. But Brandon posted it to once again see whats happen in the past 4 months and how Brandon should and will be grateful for the little things

Because



Because you said you weren't but you were there 4 me
Because I failed and you always picked me up from the ground
Because it was my fault and you were the one to apologize 1st
Because i took joking to the next level in a serious conversation
Because you can stand me when i talk
Because you're one of the few that doesn't want me to shut up when i talk
Because 1 in a million times i try before finding a friend like you
Because I got drunk and the roads look windy but you straighten it
Because my life's a joke but you make that a good thing
Because no matter how hard i fell, there was already a pillow awaiting me
Because I know God put you in my life for a reason

All in all

BECAUSE YOUR MY FRIEND
Just because,
Brandon

Happy Bday

To my Dad!!!
Thanks alot for being such a wonderful 1!!!
You've never discouraged me from doing anything!
Although I was slow,
you told me i could run the 100m
Although I lost,
you told me to try out next year again
Although I was afraid of the dark,
You brought in a torchlight
Although I got B's for my exams,
You put my feet back on the ground and told me to work harder
Although you're nt a Christian,
You understand what I have to do as 1
Although I cried,
You wiped my tears
Although I slammed the door,
You gently opened it.
55 years ago
You were born.
40 years later,
I was ur present
Thanks alot dad!
I love you
Happy 55th bday (31.7.10)

Little child of mine,
Brandon
