I met Mahidge and Nateeva when I moved into the same building. I think Mahidge was probably 2 or 3 years old. He always said hi and was so cute and always dressed fly. Years went by quick and before I knew it he was in middle school! I would pass him in the hall in our building and he always had funny stories to tell me about school. Lol. He would knock on my door and ask if I had trash to take out because he was going to the dumpster. He would help me carry bags upstairs if I was coming from the market. And he would have a little joke to tell if me and Nateeva was in the hallway talking for hours! Lol. I remember he was so happy to tell me he was going to be a uncle. Trying act like a Lil man. Lol. I remember laughing so hard when he knocked on my door because it was a bee in his apartment and he said he was not killing it when I gave him bug spray. He waited in my apartment until Nateeva came home from work, telling me the story about how the bee came out of nowhere. Had me crying laughing because he was serious but naturally funny and sat up there and re-enacted the whole scene. I think he was around 14 when that happened. Mahidge was always respectful and funny at the same time! I will miss him, think about him often, and I am happy that he is resting peacefully.
