The Obituary of Used 2

He was born in the 50s of third- and fourth-generation immigrants. They were sponsored by relatives and family to immigrate to the United States. They had to have a place to live and a job waiting. Used 2 was raised by parents, grandparents and many aunts and uncles. Used 2’s mother knew of his friend’s as well as their parents. He went to school, said a prayer and said the pledge of allegiance to the flag. Used 2 was taught great values and how to treat people. Used 2 went to church with his family and visited his grandparents much like a holiday almost every Sunday. Used 2 was surrounded by family in times happiness and times of sorrow. Used 2 talked to people in person or over the phone instead of a text!

Used 2 could speak his mind until recently. It was ok to disagree with someone’s views or option’s without name calling. Used 2 had many friends but now are called acquaintances. Used 2 remembered the man or woman’s word was their bond. A handshake sealed a deal; trusting someone at their word was premier and not the exception. Used 2 helped the needy but despised the cheaters and the lazy. Used 2 loved current events and the media reported the news, not making up or reporting it first without checking the accuracy. Used 2 wasn’t brainwashed by Hollywood or the media by sensationalism for ratings.

Rest in peace, Used 2.
