My Angle
﻿ Happy Birthday, everyone yells! August 24, 2005 lake charle, Louisiana it was Richards Woelkes Birthday. My cousin, him and i were really close, I counted him as my brother. I didnt care what anybody said about him. If someone messed with me they mess with him. He was my roll model, I looked up to him. I wanted to be just like him when i grow up. I only wished i could be with him every day.

Everyone was at his party all my family, as he blew his candles out he closes his eyes and makes a wish. The only thing is I hoped he would have wished for more time. Everyone was cheering and started to give him preasents, he smiles and tells everyone "thank you, I love you all". Everyone looks at him and smiles and went to watch the football game. As everyone left my other cousin Devin Bullock and I gave Richard a hug, told him Happy 15th Birthday. I told him that he was growing fast, and that now hes 15 hes now a regestered chick magnet. He laughes and tells Devin and me "thanks guys". Devin asks richard if he wants to go and ride the four wheeler around for a bit. "Alright" he said, so I ran to the four wheeler and thought of the most brilliantly stupid idea. I tied the four wheeler to a cardboard box. Richard and Devin asked me what I was doing. I told them both that we are gonna jump the ditch with someone in the back. They looked at me in an unusual way and said that it was an awesome idea. So i hoped on the back of the four wheeler while richard drives and poor Devin get to ride in the box. Richard put the four wheeler in drive. I yell to Devin if hes ready, he raises two thumbs up. So I yell to Richard to floor it and scream go!. Richard thrust his foot on the pedal and I nearly fell off the back. As we were getting near the jump I hold up two thumbs for Devin, he couldnt raise his hand we were going too fast. We hit the jump and we all are in the air. Our facial expression was so hilarious. Richards mouth was wide open, Devin looked like he was about to crap his pants, and i was about to soil my self. When we landed hard I hit my you know what and fell on the string, then Devins box hit the edge of the ditch and flys out of the box. So Devin and me are rolling down the ditch full of water. 

After we were all done and we all let our laughs out we each took a shower, waiting for bed. We had school tommorro, I went to B.P. Hopper school I was only five at the time. Devin went to Highland Jr School, and Richard the oldest on was in Highlands High School. The day went on and on waiting for classes to go by. I was tired last night i didnt get enough sleep. Richard, Devin and me was late up at night wrestling each other. Of course Richard won, Devin in second, and tiny me in dead last third place. As im sitting in my class i wonder to myself " i wonder what Devin and Richard is doin" I slowly drift back to reality and payed attention for a little bit. Once again i was dozing in to space wondering what i should do to hang with my cousins, well all i could really think of is play video games. Hours by hour goes on with me passing asleep, teachers really didnt care about me back then. Ring Ring Ring! School finally over, so i walk to the parking lot where my cousins are talking, chit chatting with some cute girls. The girls werent that pretty but they are dateable. I ask Devin if he could give me a ride, he always says "yes" but whenever i ask Richard hes always busy with something, oh well its non of my buisness what my cousins do. So i hoped in the back of the truck, i loved sitting in the trunk even though there is a slight chance of getting hurt. As we are driving through baytown i see Richard right behind us getting a ride from the girls that he was talking to.I think her name is Veronica, i really had no idea what her name was. Well as we get close to our destination I see my little sister Myra beating up my other little cousin, Chase was my little, crazy, and annoying cousin, my sister usally keeps him in line. So i jump out of the back push Myra off of Chase, i asked her what she was doing, She looked at me with the oddest look and said "i dont know". I told her "I think you know what your doing, it looks like your beating the crud out of Chase". I yelled at her cause she had a good brand new white sleeveless shirt on, with dirt, grass stains, little holes and the stench of a dead skunk on the road. So i yelled at her this time instead of Chase, she went inside crying while Devin started to laugh at her. Richard gave Veronica a hug and thanked her mom. He looked like he was in love with his mouth open wide eyes zoned out and a little bit of drool coming out of his mouth. I asked him if he was alright, he just looked all around and walked in, i guess he was love deaf. The time went on as we did our business and such. Richard and I were playing video games all night. As the night went i passed out, time went on and the clock rang i woken up from my slumber with a major headache. i looked at the time and flipped i had to go to school i was blasting all my clothes on my body. i looked at Richard but he was still passed out i wonder what time he went to bed. oh well i shooked him but he just kept sleepin so i ran out the door to catch my bus. The boring days at school once again, i nearly passed out and the teacher called me out. "Aden" what is fourteen times thirty-six, i looked at the teacher with a blank face, as the drool slowly goes to my chin i yell eight thousand. Everyone looked at me and laugh, it was a bad day to day i knew it. i go to the cafeteria to get my grub on and see what was on the menu. Tuna cassarole, eww that stuff is nasty, what else is to eat, oh nasty its stu suprise. Well today has officially sucked, so all that i had for lunch was a cold chocolate milk. Bus time, finally going home ive been bored all day, it sucked. i pass out in my seat and everything goes black. I wake up and hour later and find that noone is on the bus, oh my sugar plums i missed my stop so i yelled at the bus driver to stop. She turned around and saw me she said that she couldnt see me sleeping since i was sleeping at the back of the bus. I told her that i was sorry she said its ok and let me off, i waved to her and yelled "thanks". As im walking down the road i see three cop cars, my heart skipped a beat as my legs started to quever. i was never more afraid in my whole entire life then right then. i ran to the house asking people what happened if my house was robbed or anything. The police just looked at me and shooked there head, i ran into all the rooms in the house to try to find out if someone stole something. Until my mom came to me and she said in a agony voice that i have to be brave and that Richard had died in my room, he had a sickness and he didnt take his medicine, he died from choking on his own throw up. He could breath and he slowly died, when my mom said this i smiled and told her you are playing a trick on me your liening. Then my grandmom comes in the room looks me in the eye and say, "Richard died dear your mom wasnt playing with you he was rushed to the hospital but when he got there he was already dead, he had been dead since this morning", Right then and there my whole body exploded into peices of pain and it felt as someone stabbed me all over my body with a dagger, i studdered as i cry i didnt think it was actually happening but it was my cousin, i told my mom and grandmom that he was not my cousin he was my brother and i couldnt belive that in the morning i touched my dead brother for the very last time. i wished that i could have only hanged out with him one last time, that morning my brother took his last breath and went to the homes of the angels i wished i could see him then and until now. i missed him for ten years now, and i always will. If only i had one chance to bring him to life i would anything to do it. The worst part was he died two days after his birthday, everyone he loved was there to celebrate it. Then he slipped away into a new and better life where anything is possible for him. R.I.P Richard We Love You
