I grew up with this young man, my brother turns 27 this yr, and if Hunter were here, he would be 28. I hope you weren't in pain when you passed. I'm almost a decade late in giving you your memoir; I'm so sorry; my life got turned upside down after you left me; I like to think that in another life, we sit across from each other at the dinner table and write a grocery list.
