My Tribute to Chris
- Because he woke me up at 5am so we could spend time together before I left
- Because we hung out all day and I didn’t even know it was his birthday
- Because everyone deserves a better birthday present than airport coffee
- Because he took me to Six Flags (after much whining, of course)
- Because he ditched his friends to go see Pink Floyd with me
- Because he doesn’t care that I don’t want to talk and would prefer to sit in silence sometimes
- Because he tolerates my random ideas like playing on the swings or having picnics on stranger’s sailboats or building Tarzan ropes over the swamp
- Because I played my usual tough-girl act and he wasn’t fooled
- Because he was brave enough to call me over (even if it did take 2 months)
- Because he is storing some of my stuff
- And because, at the end of it all, he still wants me to phone
