even the hurt and the pain in Mike's eyes.

It was such a disrespect to him. Yeah, it was such disrespect. You know, and us, like, do you even know? No, he's not world-known and world-famous, but he is to me. Yeah. And you, this not even a person that should be laying under the sheet, man. Not at all. Not at all. So it was just... Oh, Lord, it was just craziness for hours.

I felt like I sat on my mom's couch for three days. It didn't even feel like I moved. Because the first time I remember being at home in my bed is when I just felt like I said, I got to see him. I got to see him. You know, I keep seeing him.

People who remind me, you know, and I'm just getting a glimpse of a man turning a corner or a kid with a backpack and he has the same, you know, height and build. Or I would feel this little thing he would do with our ears. He would like thump his finger across your ear and you would hear the wind. I kept telling Lewis, I just need to see him.

It was so strong that it was coming through our windows, like this spicy feeling almost, as if you're having an allergic reaction to something. Your eyes burn, your nose burns. And it was so strong in the air.

And I couldn't believe that. Like, to see it in person on a residential street with cars and somebody's hanging out the top with an assault rifle pointing it, due to... an officer killing an unarmed, when you think about the base of this story and where it stemmed from, and then you see their reactions, it's like, excuse me?

I knew nothing about Black Lives Matter. I knew nothing about any of that. All that I knew was that I had to make funeral arrangements for my baby boy. I had to go out and pick out his last outfit. I had to go to a funeral home and put together obituary. Those were the things that were at the forefront of my mind.

I knew I had to. Nobody even offered to do it for me. I had to do it. I picked out a blue cardigan, a plaid shirt to go under his cardigan, a blue bow tie. And some blue jeans. I dressed him in a way that I would want and a way that I knew he would like. And he had a fresh haircut. And he had a Cardinals cap. Because he loved a hat. I love a hat, too. But the hat couldn't go on his head.

Because he had been shot in the top. And his head was still, you know, pretty swollen. And... That shot to the top of his head came out of his left eye.

I had a picture of Mike, and I said, I want him to look just like this. Like there's nothing to happen, meaning that I want him to look like himself. And I'll dress him like himself and put him away.

They took me to a funeral home, and they walked me to the room, and I just remember them opening the doors, and I saw two rows of seats, two pews, and it felt like the longest walk ever. But he was at the end.
