family fam ily(I love you) God removed JaJuan and Tania to test my "heart" last year and you know who is the person that texted me "Kayla" I did something crazy today I walked to DAT9 and slipped two notes to on Dre's desk because losing "you" hurt and he knew something was "wrong" with me. I slipped a note to "Von" hopefully everyone reads my messages on here. because I really miss them like how I miss you Tyrese(both of them YES there are 2) JaJuan Tania my mistake but everyone all saw me "find" her. anyways I've always find a way grandma and she wanted me to keep looking for her. I know because she CHANGED her profile pic on Cash App and Instagram BUT WE NEVER did on "facebook"-August 15 2002 2024 one of your daughter's or my mother's name means "Queen Mother" I hope she sees this because Uncle Rick is right he told me I AlWAYS LOVE MY MOTHER. you remember when everybody met at your house to talk to me about my "depression" I didn't want to hurt anybody by saying I wanted to end my life because that will demoralized y'all Uncle Jimmy Uncle Terrain I just didn't want to let y'all down I currenttly feel like I have in the house by myself again. I love you Grandma I hope for BETTER or GREATER DAYs.

I don't know anymore literally I don't it's like atp I used the "wrong" name it's patrichge but slaton means "lost" at this rate I know I did the "right" thing maybe if I didn't stop reading this "life" would've been different or this "story" will be different the only thing I DID NOT WANT TO DO is "die" ALONE now I have to live alone too? you know I don't know I want to live but at the same time what's the point? my goal in my life is ALWAYS TO SHOW LOVE TO MY COMMUNITY most definitely to Kayla.

Trevon Slaton

I just want to say thank you. Literally for like he said to me one day your grandmother is I don't even know I literally wish my "mother" can see how much I love her. I don't know grandma maybe I just love people too much to the point they can't handle it well I feel like Kayla can. Let's just say everytime she post herself on her "Instagram" story when I am "Single" I always give her the heart eyes and she will always like it or acknowledge it every single time. Honestly something in my "spirit" or "heart" he told me to keep going for "her". I do know I'm going to be alright and once I get my life together I will carry on the "family" COOKOUTs. I love and miss you grandma I really hope ya I love game night JaJuan always hosted and I tried in March it was cool I guess I just wish I wasn't so "timid". You know ya I hope get my phone and stuff back soon I literally need it to rebuild my life.

Trevon Slaton

Grandma you always knew it's always been us me you my sister my mother and BREKA well Uncle T 2 whenever he's home in that "trailer" that yellow one I want to go back there and see if it's still there I mean I did it we did it this is not how I imagined this story with me and her will go but A E I O U and sometimes why I love and miss you just as much as I LOVE HER. John 3:17 (NIV) states: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.-August 15 2002 2024 E.N.D

Trevon Slaton

ok grandma you won't believe this 1 Samuel 26:20 (Vulnerability and Pursuit) David compares himself to a partridge being hunted by King Saul in the rocky mountains: "For the king of Israel has come out to seek a single flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains."• Meaning: It represents a righteous person running for their life, pursued by a powerful and unjust adversary through difficult, barren terrain. ok maybe she did? but I don't know all I can say is god really works in mysterious ways turns out I was already tied to someone else and I didn't even know it. ever heard of Terrance Slaton? ya not me either Nana always know what to get me she bought me a "watch" with your name on it and Tee has both of my phones and my playstation I'm leaving this message from the "chromebook" she bought me. you know I always wondered though seeing my mother finding her counter part or love again. Breka has a baby named "Talla". Nesee she's married to "Van". It just wasn't my time to be "myself" now it is. I told the pastor my life is the "apology" last year was the perfect time to say "I quit" but I chose to stay I chose to pick myself up off that carpet for everyone in that basement. i did it I passed for everyone I honestly need something because I took alot I did but you know you definitely know that because you're watching me. Kayla(white Tesla) Trey(vs) DAT9(Amazon) I would name everyone but everyone's closest knows "me". but I do deserve an apology from LAWREN.

Trevon Slaton

A lot of things I wanna say the one month I did not call you left and you know I always call you at least once a month give you a check-in but I lost somebody very important to me. Her name is Kayla 😘☝️ Mahogani. The whole world tried to fix somebody that wasn't broke. I went to the hospital in April. I went to another hospital in September. Everybody stabbed me in my back Grandma everybody but she didn't. She didn't call 911 but everyone else around me did and I may not ever see this person again but Grandma did see the cat with green eyes. I passed my test for everyone. Maybe I just love the world too much should've point. I don't even know, but I do know leases at my house are ending soon and I gotta figure out my life from now. Hopefully, I physically can visit you with her because me and her saved the world from itself. I love her just as much as I love you, Grandma and I miss her just as much as I miss you. I hope to see you soon.
