      Exactly! It controlled the narrative. His transparency was much needed. He showed raw emotion and really gave a point of view few see, a parents raw uncut grief from a loss of a child.

      And yet still mean gossip UA-cam Channel creators STILL are making up stories and editing Ricky's videos to create lies, falsehoods, and vitriol about Ricky and his family. My mom used to say they talked about and lied on Jesus and He's Our Savior, so what do think people will do to each other?

      Rickey sharing private moments over the last couple days is very helpful to a lot of men . When he was in his closet about to break down.. then his daughter walked in.. And he’s pretending he’s good .. then she leaves and he breaks down in private.. THAT was a real moment of how men handle themselves. When my grandmother died .. that’s exactly how it was for a long time. And it’s good to see other men are doing the same thing and there is nothing wrong with what I was dealing with. Rickey is a great man and he is helping people just by putting himself out there .

    March 05, 2000 was when I realized that my father was capable of crying. My brother was murdered on that day and it took so much out of my dad. People often think men can't cry or don't care, but they're human too.. In my darkest hours I can hear God's word saying " I will never leave you alone my child."🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

    Thank You Ricky 🙏🏿. I got tired of watching these bootleg videos of the “Standing Ovation.” All income from UA-cam should go to you, Brandon’s mother and daughter. A wonderful send off to Heaven💯. But Lord, the musicians really set the atmosphere for Brandon 👍🏿🎹🎶🎵🎼🎤

    Thank you so much for sharing this most difficult moment in time. It has blessed me to see also the video clips you shared transparently leading up to the day of the funeral. Your feelings of pain, bewilderment and love for your son Brandon and family. Giving praises to his mother and step dad. What a humble and loving spirit you have. So inspiring. So ole school and not ashamed. ❤ You have given so many strength to endure and to be ok to grieve. I love that no matter what, you have been Determined to never loose your Praise! I know God is please Ricky. You have honored him and Brandon well! God Bless You and Yours with the Peace that surpasses All understanding. ❤
