This is George. Floyd was my family name. I’ve been gone a year now. When I woke up that day, I didn’t have any idea that it would be my last day on the earth. I just want to start off by saying that I Am alive and well. I’m getting stronger each and every day.
I knew I had died. I knew that I was still alive though. I watched everything go down. People were really fed up and angry because this wasn’t the first time that something like this has happened. I felt all of the pain and anger. I knew that people were sorry and would have brought me back if they could have.
I’ve never felt so much love and respect and I Am very grateful for it. It continues to this day. I Am still trying to figure some things out. I’m in a good place but I don’t have all of the pieces of the puzzle put together yet. I’m working really hard to forgive Derek. He didn’t have the right to do that to me but I’m okay now. I will forgive him one day and I think it will be sooner rather than later.
I don’t have any regrets. I had a good life. I had good times and I had bad times, but who hasn’t? Being a Black man in America is a hard assignment. I understand that much now. Maybe it doesn’t have to be that way though. Maybe people can help each other out more and give them the benefit of the doubt. They said my $20 wasn’t good but maybe someone could have bought my stuff for me. That’s my thing I want to get across. Maybe people can be a little less harsh and a little more helpful to each other.
I miss my family but I see them every day. They don’t know I’m still around, except for my brother. He’s a little suspicious but he won’t say anything. He doesn’t want anyone to think he’s crazy.
One of my all-time favorite songs is by Chaka Khan. It goes, “What cha gonna do for me when the chips are down?”
Thanks for giving me some of your time.
God Bless,
George
