We weren’t much on family portraits. I think one time we actually sat down with a photographer and had our picture taken. It never really came up. Or was always something when it did. What do we wear? I’m fat? What do we do with it? Etc. I don’t know if I necessary regret not having many, but I wish we had a couple more like this. At best, I think we have a couple of these types.

I have been thinking about Dylan a lot lately. I would like to know what words of wisdom he would impart upon his sister as she approaches high school graduation. She would listen to him. Would he tell her, “Mom and Dad were right. Listen to them.”? Would he tell her we were clueless? Would he tell her what she wanted to hear or would he just listen and nod in agreement when she expressed her uncertainty about her future?

It doesn’t matter, I just wish he was here for her now.
