Missing You

I miss my Brian. I miss him so very much. It happens from time to time where I am consumed by thoughts of him. I never know when it’s going to come on are what causes these moods.

I think what’s driving it is a want to talk with him about everything that’s going on. I want to ask him questions and get his opinion. I need a thoughtful young persons opinion on current events. He always had a special lens through which he saw the world. It was different than mine yet it was governed by logic and informed by life experiences. I always appreciated his ability to talk through difficult topics without getting excessively emotional. When he was in deep discussion it was obvious that he thought about what he was saying and he chose his words carefully.

Brian was fun to talk with. He enjoyed it and didn’t shy away from real topics. That’s why he liked environments that made talking easy, like coffee shops. Another phenomenal characteristic that made him a good conversationalist was his ability to listen. He would listen without interrupting but most importantly, he was genuinely interested.

I miss Brian. It’s a gorgeous morning, the temperature is mild, the sky blue and the air is fresh and still. A perfect morning to share a cup of coffee on the patio.

Love you my son!
