I pray that you can see some of the things that are going on here. Fighting Cancer With Poetry and NSBC Scholarship Ministry had a major event on last Saturday. It was in
your honor and your memory. You were a part of the Scholarship Ministry and you are a
part of Fighting Cancer with Poetry.
As usual, the poets were amazing. But I have to say one stood out. Dominique Weeks first
did your “Struggles”. He nailed it. He told me that Struggles hit home with him... it is his favorite. But he wrote a poem as a tribute to you. I think it was entitled “My Name Is...”.
That poem was crazy. He went through amazing characteristics of all of these amazing
people who had done amazing things throughout history and he called their names. As
he ended the poem with characteristics that were no less amazing, he said “My name is
Justin Izlar”.
I have to tell you, I did not expect that. Nobody did. Ma-ma jumped to her feet and just
threw her arms up in the air. It took my breath away and I could not contain myself. I had
to walk away. It was crazy. I really want a copy of it. He performed it like it was his last
performance ever. He did that thing. You would have been so proud of him.
You would be so proud of FCWP. Chris said you set him up for this. I believe you did when you called him and asked him to collaborate with you. He agreed, having no
idea what he was really agreeing to. You would be so proud of him. We all are.
I love you and will see you later.
Mommy
