A brotherly hug almost 10 years in the making 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼🤎🤍 @JellyRoll615

Several years ago (roughly 2017) I was going through a very hard thing at the time, I was struggling. My mental wellness turned into my mental hellness. Many of you know the drill, you put on “the face”, show up to work, smile and get through it.
Perhaps not the healthiest thing to do, but it’s what I was used to doing at the time.

Then a song came on through my headphones one morning on a random shuffle playlist. “Only” from Jelly Roll.
The lyrics rocked me.
Hard core.

The words moved me so much that I reached out to Jelly. I said you don’t know me and I don’t know you, but this song of yours is helping me through some stuff I’m dealing with. I just called to say thank you brother.

Our bond was born.

The gift I gave Jelly when we finally met, is insignificant to the world, but something I just knew would mean a lot to him and he’d appreciate. It’s an old, and cheap postcard of a little motel called the Alamo Plaza in south Nashville. When I was 15yrs I was forced (family was evicted) to leave Hawaii and make it to Nashville to live with my dad. That didn’t work out so I wound up living with a stranger in this little spot on Murfreesboro Road that has since been torn down and no longer there.

Downtown Bruno was that stranger’s name and to this day, he’s one of my best and most special friends.

Just like Jelly.
A very special friend.

Every once in a while we all get sliced up by life, but it’s amazing to see what kind of blessings and people that God and the universe will put in our lives to help us heal through our pain.

And a big SURREAL shout out to our boy Craig Morgan 🎶 who I was just listening to in my truck as I pulled up to meet Jelly.

How’s THAT for the universe conspiring for us!! F#%king crazy 🤯

Love you brother and cheers to all our plaques coming down.
