Trip to AFI

When going to AFI well first started off crazy I was about 30 to 45 mins late because of our great Lakeland Police Department. When I first walked in to the cafĂ© I was still at little shaking from the Police but as soon as I walked in I saw Nate talking to JB and Tyrone so I went and sat by them. Tyrone wow what a amazing individual so funny, and I was a little surprised with his handshakes they were very firm to be so little hands. JB reminded me of Barry in a way but instead of golf it was basketball. The greatest moment I had was seeing him shoot a piece of trash in the trash can and when he made it his eyes lit up and his hands raised and the biggest smile. I don’t cry often but JB touched me just seeing how happy he was and also gave me a reality check I complain about a lot of stuff and not one time I hear Tyrone or JB say anything negative. I was going to paint a picture again but I figure I did two in a row with the act one and two; I should probably do blog writing. The picture I would have painted would have been of our reading group. Watching them read was touching and makes me want to help them no matter what I have to do. That’s why I’m going to set up a fundraiser for AFI haven’t really decided what I want to do yet either a golf tournament or a marathon. Listening to what that lady had to say about the funding killed my heart. To tell you the truth I am disgusted the church community or southeastern hasn’t step up to help. I gain a lot of knowledge from this trip and met some of the greatest people. I will never forget JB and Tyrone and I plan on returning to see them soon.
