2 years now
2008 October 24
It’s been two years now since you left Shaun.
I still think about you all the time and i’m sorry i wasn’t there for you. Why couldn’t you just have come to Sweden? You know i was planning it? You woulda learned the language in half the time it took me to get the hang of it.
I wish you could meet Elliott. He’s two and half almost and he’s a comedian in training. You woulda loved him. He would of loved you.
anyway, i really miss you buddy. and it’s your birthday.
goodnight, wherever you are
“My Blue Rose of Texas”
is what he called his favorite flower when he visited me at the flower shop. It was in fact an iris. He loved it and took one home every time.
(Also some bandaids, time and again, cause he would usually cut his finger with the floral tools while playing with them.)
It was raining the other day and reminded me of when I tried to teach Shaun how to drive stick shift one rainy night after we saw Mystic Pizza at that theater that was on I think Charleston and Maryland Pkwy. Only kids would think nothing of a driving lesson on a rainy night on a busy street. None-the-less, we herky-jerked my poor celica’s transmision on down the road….
