air jordans for sale

A lady in Graham is selling her son's pair of Air Jordan shoes that were signed by the former superstar to raise money to help another one of her children with his legal expenses. The shoes belonged to her son Peedie who died at age thirteen two weeks after receiving the shoes. They are signed "Good luck, Mickie" Michael Jordan.

Peedie died from a rare disease that caused him to age to fast. I met him shortly before he died and although he wasn't much more than five feet tall if that big and probably weighed less than a hundred pounds he looked to be in his late eighties or nineties. It's kind of confusing to meet someone like him as he acts like the kid he is but looks to be the old man he isn't.

I was working in Burlington at a Revco drug store on Church Street and he stopped in occasionally to purchase some candy.

Sometimes I read stories about successful men who were inspired by the sacrifices of their mother who worked two jobs, one maybe as a cleaning lady in an office building and the other equally distasteful. Knowing how hard the woman worked so he could have a chance at life made the man aspire to greatness. Then you read stories about Peedie and his brothers who choose to take advantage of their mothers absences while she worked two jobs to support them. Their choice was to sell drugs.

Was the momma a bad parent?

I can't answer that but just because she had to work two jobs to support her family doesn't make her a bad parent.

Should she sell the shoes to help her son?

I think she should sell the shoes and take herself a nice vacation. A vacation would leave her with lasting memories and make her even closer to Peedie. Unless she really believes her son is innocent or will change, she should use any proceeds for herself or give the money for some worthy cause. If her troubled son really cared about his mother he would not ask her to sell something that means so much to her. I believe she needs to remain strong and tell him no. He needs to learn to accept responsibility for his actions and to grow up and stop tasking advantage of other people, especially his mother.
