Let those words sink in and try to imagine the grief of a parent having to bury a child, especially at the hands of a reckless coward who didn’t follow police orders. Sybrina Fulton (pictured below right) and Tracy Martin (pictured below left), Trayvon’s mother and father respectively, will not have the chance to hug their boy as he reaches this pinnacle of youth melding into manhood. George Zimmerman snatched that away from them on February 26th of 2012, just a mere few weeks after his 17th birthday. The small town of Sanford in Florida is now forever etched in the minds of many nationwide — all due to a confrontation that didn’t have to turn fatal.
Perhaps Zimmerman will get his just due one day, but for now, we should honor Trayvon by celebrating his life.
Rest in peace, young brother Trayvon.
