Every Little Story

Dear Brian,

It's been a moody week for me; I move from task to task as best I can, but multi-tasking is beyond me and each interruption is like a burr under a saddle -- irritating as all get out.  My mind doesn't stay on any one thing, and I find I need to constantly check that I haven't lost or misplaced anything.  I've already lost my debit card, a booklet that I read every day and found comforting.  I set things down and can't remember where I left them, and I wander around doing tasks and only half complete them.  Not that many of the chores at home matter -- if they don't get done today, tomorrow is another day!

The family is worried, so I promised to see my doc.  That's next Thursday.
Today was the day I had the oil changed and tires rotated on the car at Earnhardt.

But in between the ordinary, every time I remember a story about you, I stop whatever I'm doing and write it down.  I've been posting them on www.forevermissed.com/brian-court .  Because I can't bear the thought that no one else will know you as well as I did.  You were an awesome son, intelligent and humorous; you didn't show all these things to every person.  You kept a lot of your thoughts to yourself, and let little bits shine through.  Anyone who got to see those little bits was special!

Your Uncle Dave asked me for something of yours to have.  It was easy enough to decide.  The knife that was your grandfather's ... he has that now and will pass it to Christopher or Anthony some day.  I also sent him a guitar pick, and your shot glasses from the Corvette factory - he collects shot glasses!  As I was gathering up things, I noticed your VW hot wheels with the Nickelodeon logo on it, he just bought himself a cute little VW to drive around town.  He sent me a text and thanked me for sharing. 

Tomorrow is Friday, and I'm thankful, it's been a long week.  But work is messing with my schedule -- isn't it always that way in retail ??   So I'm off Saturday and Wednesday for the next two weeks.  Ugh.  Sadie misses you, and seems to be lonely when I'm at work.  She wandered in your room and took a nap in there Tuesday. 

Just a few tidbits to share with you!
I miss you always,
Love, Mom
