In memoriam

My sister and I were walking around North End and visited the old church where lanterns were lit for Paul Revere. There was this freedomg courtyard in the back and we stumbled upon a memorial for all the soldiers lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. I remembered hearing about Brian's death from some friends and it didn't hit home until I saw his cross.

North End, Boston.

These are one of the people whom I went to elementary school, junior high and high school with. I had classes with him and he chased my friends and I around at raging waters with a hose. I didn't know what to do except pay my respects for him and his colleagues and pray for his family and close friends.

It's funny how things turn out.
