Mr. Temple,
You came to me in my dream last week. It was crazy because I usually know when I'm dreaming. Everything was so real! We All were there sitting around joking and talking stuff like we always did and then a light came down, it was time for you to go back to heaven and that's when I realized it was a dream. IT was crazy i'm telling you because once again we never got to tell you how much we all loved you and when it was realized, you were already gone... I prayed once I awoke and that's when I realized that you knew and know how we all feel about you!! Well I'm going to say again, Carleton Temple we love and and miss you especially all the arguing and stuff talking we used to do. See you on the other side!!!!
Wow, so many memories!!! Well, I remember when you and Brandon started working at River City Cafe in M.B. You both were so excited because you were making you own money. Bo from across the street was the manager, and both of you hounded him until he gave you a job. You were a cook and you would come home late at night and jump in the bed with me and wake me up and say " Let's talk !' OMG you "stunk" so bad, and I would say " Baby can you take a shower first " and you would grin that huge grin of yours and say," NO! I want to talk right now."
And we would sit and talk for hours about anything and everything. I always felt you were testing me to see if I would give in. No matter how sleepy I was you would not leave until we talked.
***Carleton, I would give anything to "smell" your stinky butt just one more time. You were such a blessing to me and I am so grateful that you were a part of my life.****
You meant so much to me. I will never forget the times we shared day and night. We both loved MJ and this song of his reminds me of your passing.
Gone 2 soon-
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse
To inspire to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Hey bro I remember how you use to tell me how beautiful the beach was. You always went above and beyond, you always had the right thoughts about things and you are the one person that I know that thought like me. We knew where we came from so we always was so determine to know where we were going and didn't let anyone else define who we was. I respect you, you was and still is the man in my life. I am so proud of you! Even though you was cheated you still accomplished so much and touched so many people yet in only 26yrs of this life. Who you were man; it spokes for it self, you delivered and most of all you still gone touch people! Even though your absent from the body your spirit will live on. I love you bro. CJ find the glasses you gave him and started smiling, I told him he can never loss them. I hope they both grow up to be just like you. I loved how you would come over and chastise CJ if he got in tourble or was just being CJ. You put him in check with that manly voice and ruff 'em some, I know I would always say "leave my baby alone" but truthfully I appreciated. I even started calling you and telling you come talk to CJ! I told him not to long ago to ask you about staying neat and clean and dressing cuz young man ain't suppose to look any kind of way. He didn't get that chance but I show how you would've done it. Talk to you soon I be looking for you on the beach!
Love you always,
Your one and only, Twin 83
