a raincloud looms in the sky above me. a breeze picks up and sends a chill right through me. I look around me, in the relative darkness, and see that the streets are empty tonight. there's no one around me, but... there is. i can feel you with me, always, in my heart. i miss you most in times like this. not because i need you. you taught me long ago that i am perfectly capable of surviving in this mad, mad world alone. i miss you because i want to share these times with you. i want you to share in my adventures. i want to hear what you have to say about the decisions that lie ahead. i want your input. your guidance. your support. and your love. i miss you talking to you, pops.
