"The Body is a vehicle transporting the soul" are the words of Damian Marley, I believe this to be true. Carlton isn't physically here with us but his soul lives on through me, two souls one vessel. Everything I do now I do for two. Before he died he knew my aspirations were to be a music producer and now more than ever I want to hold onto that dream because I want to make him proud. The bonds of friendship sometimes surpass that of family and in his case it did. He was truly my brother in every aspect or definition of the word and I am happy that I had the time here on earth to experience such a person.Carlton could never get upset no matter what. We would always make jokes with each other and at times I would take it personal but her never once did. "Mr. Incredible" is what he would call me based on the main character from the movie the Incredibles. He said similar to the character I had a huge muscular structure on top and from the waist downwards was small. He was also the one who gave me the nickname Lalo because he said Lala was a bit girlish and that's the name that my Mother still calls me to this day.
We Would Joke about each other's family members and I knew that whenever I wanted a reaction out of him all I had to do was make reference to his father or call him "Boom Boom" which was his little sister Roby Ann's nickname.
During third form (9th grade) he acquired the alias "Different" from his fellow classmates and that was the name that best described him. Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him and befriending him while he was here on earth would be able to tell you that they met a really wonderful and remarkable individual. Destruction of the flesh is not the ending to life. He lives on through me....
