That's when I opened the door and I just ran out. No nothing on my feet. I had socks because I like to be in the house with just socks on. And I just ran outside, no coat, no nothing. And Day Day was on the ground on his back.

And, like, can't nobody tell me how to be? None of that. Because you didn't experience this, so... Even now, I have a problem with trusting people. And I really don't trust nobody now. Like, it's even worse now. Because then I look and be like, okay, was it your child that did it? Did you do it? Like, I have that.

I see him every day I talk to him. And I always say, I'm sorry, Daddy. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. And he comes to, he still, to this day, he still comes to me like a dream. And I wake up, and I be like, he came to me, and I be like, thank you, Daddy, I love you. But it's a struggle. I was with him, but I just felt like I couldn't protect him because I didn't hear anything.

And that's something I fight with, I struggle with all the time. I always tell my kids, my job was out there. Always protecting y'all no matter what. And then I always say, I couldn't protect him that day because I didn't know. But I always say, I knew one damn thing. He heard my voice. That's for sure. He know I was there.

Why? Why? Why? That's the question I have. Why? Why? Because they didn't bother nobody.

I'm trying to get justice for you. I'm not going to never stop trying. That's my child, and I always say, why my child? He didn't bother nobody. I just need closure. I'm not going to be right until I get closure. I think about him all the time. It doesn't seem real. It just seems like... I'm dreaming and I just haven't woke up from my dream yet. I really miss my baby.

We were just sitting there waiting, and then when the doctor came in, I think I was walking out, and when I turned around, my son punched a hole in the wall. And he just, like, dropped. And it was like... And I told him I wanted to see him. Took a while, but they had him in the room through a glass window, and they still had, like, the tube in his mouth.

And I was talking to him, and I just couldn't believe it. Then we went in the chapel, and I was just cussing. I'd be like, somebody killed my f***ing child. I didn't want to hear nothing nobody had to say.

I just couldn't believe it. Like, somebody killed daddy. Somebody killed my... And I just kept saying it over and over. But I just, I couldn't believe it. Like, it was just unreal.
