continuing silence

5/22/14

  I don't miss bellowing in anger, saying "ouch" or picking up the phone and saying "hi".
  I only miss talking to Oscar. He is my best friend, mentor and role model. I have learned everything from him and he continues to teach me so much. I feel like my silence is somehow shortchanging him.
  The funny thing is, my silence doesn't seem to bother him in the least. He has always walked many steps in front of me. I think he knew my noise was completely unnecessary long before i did.
