That quote that I picked was " After all this time I still miss you everyday " . This connects to me because I keep thinking about my cousin Daniel . I think about him because his own cousins snitched on him for robbing a store in the south side of chicago . Also it's been 5 or 6years since I haven't seen him and till this day I don't know when he is going to to get out and I feel like that I'm not ever going to see him again . Also when I was a little kid he will always teach me how to fight .
