WHAT MY BROTHER WAS BEST AT

[image error]

After playing guitar, probably being silly was his second-best skill.

When someone is gone, well, you can’t spend your life wrapped-up in every photo of them ever, but you can curate a very special grouping that do their best to encapsulate the magic that was your special person.

This one shows the charm that my brother had, charm that his niece seems to have inherited. I feel as if the two of them are inviting us on a cruise ship each time I see this photo. Tonight’s onboard cocktail is a Shirley-Temple-Moe-Larry-&-Curly…. a glass, half rum, half Coke, one fresh-faced cherry, three assorted nuts.
