Are missing out on. We didnt get a chance to watch him graduate from high school or see him go off to college or go to the prom or things like that. And so, i think, you know, i think all the time about how many kids he would have had and who he would have married and things like that. So, at 22, it is fairly young but he would have been graduated from college like his brother did. I think about all of the good times that we shared with him and those memories cannot be taken away from us. We definitely as parents, you always want to see your children do something productive in life and so, we definitely would have been hoping for college, and other charges graduate from our kids and going on just to see his life progress. Seeing him become a man. Seeing him raise his own family. That is an things that we think about all of the time, the things that we miss. You got the question, who was Trayvon Martin . And one of the things i really enjoyed about the book its learning more about him.
