Dear One

Dear One,

I think about you in quiet moments. I wonder if there's a heaven and if you're there causing havoc like you used to.

Are you at peace?

Today is your birthday. We would have celebrated in some magical way. It would have involved champagne and cheese and endless bouts of laughter.

Do you ever wonder about your place in our lives now? How mythical your image has become?

I try to live as unapologetically as you. I don't know if I can pull off that level of laissez-faire with as much aplomb, but I try because it makes me happy that your spirit can be reflected in my actions.

You'll always represent a part of my story that was good and fun and loving. I hope you know that. I hope you're happy.
