It was a hot, sticky day - the day I went to meet De'Ajaha, Ja'Kahla, and Ty'Juan.
The lights were dim, and their aunt, Erica Bledsoe, turned on the air conditioner when I mentioned the weather. The kids sat together on the couch, their aunt on the air mattress on the living room floor.
Sitting in their grandmother's apartment in Rogers Park, the home they've been fighting to stay in since Rosetta Bledsoe died last year, we talk about her - what she was like, how much they miss her.
