Dearest Drive

Dearest External Mind Drive,

I must deeply apologize for my lapse in communication. I have sent you nothing but photographs and cryptic epitaphs. This is disrespectful of our long standing devotion to one another. I've missed you, I've thought about you more than it would seem, somehow I just haven't been able to connect. I'm back now though, I'll do better.

Lots of things have happened. Our beloved pet Simone was guided out of our realm on October 28. As you know from the countless blurry photos he was a very serious cat. The funniest thing about him was that he was never in on the joke, forever our furry straight man. He excelled in cuddling and making half meows, and he loved to gently touch our faces with his soft paws. I miss him deeply and constantly.

On a more positive note, the weekend before last was monumental. My parents and sister and her new and wonderful boyfriend Drew were in town for my brother Devin and his partner Dylan's 10th Anniversary. They had a party at a rented room in the community center in Plummer Park. So many people came who's lives have been enriched by their 10 year union. The most magical of moments occurred though during the gift exchange, when Devin proposed and Dylan accepted. I was so proud of the two of them for making love work in unlikely circumstance.

I'm starting off a new adventure tomorrow, I shall be a mentor to a 16 year old. Confidentiality forbids me from detail, but know dearest drive that I am both excited and nervous to begin a new phase in my agreement with the universe.

With love and affection, Brandon
