""Not only did their parents, their uncles, their cousins their friends, and myself lose two great men. We lost people we dearly care about and have been major players in all of our lives," Joshua said. "It's tough, it's really tough. "I'm not going to sit here and show all of my emotions. I know in today's day and age, it's easy to micro-analsze as people and pass judgement but I know what I feel, and that's what that matters to me.""
""One day my time will come and I'm not scared at all. It's actually comforting knowing I've got two brothers on the other side. "I've lost people before but I don't think I've lost people like that. My left and my right. Throughout this like journey that I've been on, they've been (here), it's not easy. I'm the big guy, but I was walking with giants that kept me protected, kept me shielded.""
