We all gone eat! Dedicated to Nekita Baker!

I dedicate this blog to one of the realist friends I ever had..Nekita (Nikki) Baker (Rest in Paradise)

I'm laying here and it's 2am...I am awaken out my sleep because my dear friend has come to me in my dream...I cry not only tears of sorrow but tears of Joy because of the good memories I cherish with Nikki. If you never got to know her I promise you missed out on knowing a special woman and damn good mother. Man me and Nik had so many GOOD times it was ridiculous! There was NOTHING that kept us from laughing day to day and as I share some of the stuff we used to get into or do for one another always remember it was done because of our friendship and that loyalty  and respect we had for one another! Man I remember when I lived in Cali and Nik was practically my only friend besides her mom...Nik would call me right when she thought I was done cooking and be like so whatchu cook today LOL! I would be like girl come find out...she would already be outside as if she knew the food was done! That used to crack me up. She learned my cooking schedule real fast and I started cooking enough for my family and hers! I remember one time I didn't cook.. now Nik wasn't just fun but she was also street smart let me tell y'all what this girl did...(I'm cracking up right now) so she says bitch what we gone eat...I'm like shid ion know...so she calls the pizza place tells them the last pizza she ordered had tomato sauce on it and that she was allergic to tomato sauce now she broke out in a rash! I was dying laughing..do u know she got us free pizzas for like a week! Lmao omg we smashed that nasty no tomato sauce having ass pizza! But shid we ate! That's why when I hear the term today "We all gone eat" I think of Nikki!!! See Nikki was not only fun but the type of person that would tell u like it is to your face....she didn't do that talk about somebody behind they back type shit...that's what I loved about her! She used to ALWAYS tell me "Bitch if u don't start standing up and saying what you mean,ppl will continue to use you and walk all over you" That right there was so real!!! I had mad respect for her cause she was never judgmental with me if something wasn't right she would let me know upfront! Now she did some dumb  shit too that I was like really Nik..why would you do that? So look...Me and Nikki hangout was the casino...it would either be me and her or me her and her mom...now one day Nik called me crying like a mf.. first thing I think is SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE KIDS! I'm like what happened what's wrong where's the kids at she like nooooo it's not that she said I just won over 600 Dollars at the casino and lost my ticket! She thought she put in in her purse in the side pocket but apparently it fell on the floor somewhere! I'm like wtf did u just say...she like u gotta come up here and help me find it....now I knew damn well we wasn't gone find that ticket but I jumped my ass on that freeway and it was like a scavenger hunt up in that thang for her ticket...yet we never found it..so to make her stop crying I went to a check cashing place and got her 100 dollars so she could go back and try that shit again! Do y'all know she hit on Pennies for 800 sum odd dollars? I was like oh hell no let's get yo ticket and get the hell up outta here don't u be dumb and lose THIS one!! She like bitch u ain't gotta tell me twice lmao!! She gave me 2 hun up out of it tho and I was like yea good looking! See that's a friendship.. if I got it she got it if she got it I got it...but the loyalty didn't stop there! So we end up working the same job..now mind u this job paid super good...man she was the life of the party at that job...I would stay at work just to wait for her to come in just so I could have my daily laugh! When I stopped working there UPS used to always come to my house with a damn check from this job and I wasn't understanding why....never questioned it either...lol...shid free money...let me get it....come to find out this girl was still clocking me in everyday as if I was at damn work! Lmao! Omg! I didn't want for anything when it came to Nikki! If we was gone do some shit... hell it benefited the BOTH of us! Lol lol! Her passing away made me realize that everybody screaming they a loyal friend ain't really loyal! SHE WAS MORE THAN LOYAL! Which is why it kills me that I didn't make it back out to Cali for her funeral! But then I'm kind of glad because I only wanna remember her how I saw her last!! I miss her....I miss laughing...the talks...the partying...everything....I could sit and write about so much more that we did but I promise y'all stomach would hurt! There's NOTHING bad anyone could say about her (well unless they just simply didn't know her and wanted to hate on her) her kids stayed fresh as hell and so did she! You would NEVER catch that girl kids dirty or looking a hot mess!! She was a damned good mom and I know her kids miss her dearly along with her mom, siblings and other friends!! If it was one last thing I could've done for Nikki it woulda been to take her to the Dr when she FIRST told me she started having real bad headaches and stuff instead of me thinking it was just a migraine....Lupus took my friend from me and we (me and her) had no idea she was even a victim of it until it was too late! So to the rest of my friends with lupus...I salute you for being the ppl you are! For having that fun spirit and not letting the diagnoses affect who you are as a person!! I may have lost my friend but I will never lose my memories!

REST IN PARADISE NIKKI U ARE TRULY LOVED AND MISSED!!

  1. Ok so I've heard some of yall stories, but reading this made me tear up and laugh at the same time... That is truly what real friends do, good , bad, ugly, whatever... That's why it is so important to let the people you truly love and care for know this and stay real with them.. If you can't be real and up front with your friends then you aren't who you clam you are... Z I want to thank you for sharing, because this type of stuff will make a person realize certain things or make you reflect on your situations. I enjoy this keep up the good work Poo.. Love you....

  2. Love it. Miss my sister everyday. My life has not been the same since she went home. Heffa made sure I'd never turn up for my birthday without her. She passed the night on April 3rd my birthday was the 4th. It's her day now. I turn up for her birthday instead. Damn If only I'd known that 28 years would be all the time I'd have to share with her.
