One of Torey's all time favorite songs was "Joker" by the Steve Miller Band. https://youtu.be/dV3AziKTBUo?si=Gj_wMoc4qdqXUhNS As you know, Das and I collect vinyl and he found this gem and gifted me with it recently: Torey used to sing "Joker" to me so often! After he left us and as I started to socialize again, I... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/Mb1ZvUDvLDY I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to watch Allen Hughes's documentary, "Dear Mama." I won't lie ... it aired on 4.21.2023 and I felt like it was going to be a hard truth to swallow so I took my own time to watch it. Afeni Shakur is a legend in her... Continue Reading →
Being a serious NFL fan, like many, T-Mitch appreciated the halftime shows! I was lucky enough to watch almost each one with him since I turned 19 (I can't remember times we didn't watch Super Bowls together, and that may be another conversation!)! I seriously wish he was around for last year's with Dr. Dre,... Continue Reading →
So I must admit ... I wasn't a big fan of Prince when Torey and I met and I blame that on my upbringing! My fam had deep seeded roots in support for MJ so I was led on a biased based mentality (no knock on my loved ones by the way!). The summer I... Continue Reading →
One of T-Mitch's Anthems ... no lie. He'd refer to this track all of the time! https://youtu.be/E7t8eoA_1jQ

Even though we weren't drug addicts, we really appreciated their "Under the Bridge" song ... we would sing our hearts out together while listening to this tune almost every time! We loved it so much that... Continue Reading →
The phone number had to be put to rest today ... it was one of his last extensions in the communication age... so many people he connected with. I just remember getting to know him over the phone when we first met. So many calling cards I purchased ... LOL! He was going to Morehouse... Continue Reading →
So ... when Torey and I first got together I couldn't spend our first Valentine's Day with him - at least not the whole day. He was pretty upset about it. I had my reasons but they weren't because of him - family related. This reminds me of so many moments between us ... the... Continue Reading →
After waiting for what seemed like a year from the Medical Examiner's office, we finally received Torey's cause of death this past Monday: Cardiovascular Disease in conjunction with Cardiac Hypertrophy Heart disease. I'm sad we didn't know sooner ... I would have done whatever I could to help him live longer. It's not fair. Yes,... Continue Reading →
