On the day May 1, 2008 I witnessed for the first time, a human being take it’s last breathe right before my eyes. The day started off as normal. I awakened around 9:08 that morning with joy of the beautiful day that was standing in front of me. I stretched, yawned, and hummed my favorite gospel tune all at once. Brushing my teeth and washing my face always came before…
