Tom, after a long morning celebrating his nephew Sylys graduating from high school 2007.
We did a good thing in going. We're not usually that responsible. But Tom, with his usual sensitive intuition sensed we should go, and I agreed. I think Sean and Sylys both appreciated us being there - just for the love it showed in the small effort. I think despite how important certain people are in my life, I am very guilty of being lazy and assuming that my loving them is enough. Like they'll know through e.s.p. or from actions frozen from childhood. I need to step forward in effort more, especially since Mom isn't here to act as a moral compass reminding me of too much time hidden as a hermit - too much selfishness.
