Looking for an old tweet I accidentally stumbled on this:

I suppose the last words a person conveys to somebody could be worse. I hope he knew we always only wanted the best for him, and that we knew he was a good young man.

I finally took the time to get my haircut for the first time since January, and for the first time in over three months I accidentally drove up to Copperhill and Copperstone. When I got up there, I just kind stared at the tree decorated with with dead flowers,candles and a sign. Not really sure what just happened despite being there only an hour and a half earlier to begin my Saturday morning like I have for over three months. I just hadn’t driven up there.

Something shook me out of it and I went to get my hair cut. I paid and was almost to the car, when one of the stylist ran up to me to tell me how she was about the loss of my son. I asked how she knew him, and she told he used to come in there to get his hair cut. She said he was always very nice, and was alway a pleasure to have there. He obviously made enough of an impression on her to make the connection. She said she prays for him when she drives by the intersection I had just violated for the time in months. She gave me hug and ran back inside to continue on with her day. I got in the car and started toward the exit, when I stopped for a moment. Eyes watering up.
