Remember when we were in Madrid and how we were mesmerized by everything?
Everywhere we went, we had such different perspective on things. We’d point out those things to each other that we wouldn’t otherwise pay attention to. I was always very curious and you were always so determined to solve the questions I had. We learned so much about the world that way. It was a wonderful dynamic. Remember when we figured out what those fast moving things were on the beach? Of course, it was always about animals for me. There were so many times where I’d catch myself to be distracted by simple rock doves or squirrels. But it never bothered you and in fact, you seemed to encourage it. I mean, you took me to feed pigeons in Placa de Catalunya. You took me to feed birds and squirrels in Lynde Shores. You didn’t hesitate to buy feed for me to give to goats and alpacas at the Winter Fair. Those made me so happy. It meant so much to me whenever you took me to see animals and how patient you were when I watched them or maybe when I did some questionable things. Remember how we tricked those chickadees? Or put when I put frog on the baking tray? You know, it made me really laugh when you tried to catch that pigeon in Chiang Mai. I know you wouldn’t normally do that. I often wonder if I was rubbing off on you or if you were simply trying to make me laugh.
I can’t deny that I miss you. I just keep reminding myself that we’re just going to keep hurting each other.
