My Enoh

The crack epidemic had this house spinning

1 year Before I was born my aunt had a secret love affair with my mothers lover. My aunt became pregnant and in no time Enoh was born. Two months after he was born Enoh was thrown down a flight of stairs… Both my mother and my aunt denied their involvement but this incident left Enoh paralyzed. Enoh’s father skipped town out of shame of having to raise a disabled child and the police made no arrests.

Enoh went on to live in a home for the disabled in Alexandria Virginia, nobody ever visited him , not even my aunt. Enoh could not walk, talk, eat, or sit up on his own and no one ever atoned for this trauma. My uncle and I hatched a plan to go see Enoh, after a check of the facility before the actual visit, we discovered that Enoh had been dead 3 years…..He died alone… without love….. guidance… or warmth… forever a stain on my aunt and mothers shirt for everyone to see. I am so sorry Enoh this is for you.
