Lil - 128
Dear Lil,
I met you for the first time in April 2006, when I started my job as a waitstaff at the senior citizen home. Seeing as my mom was the chef, it seems as though you loved me from the start. Since I was usually the first one in work everyday, I would check to see if your apartment, 128, was on the delivery list. If it was, I was more than thrilled to grab the delivery cart and rush to your apartment. On the rare occasion that you left your bed before 4 in the afternoon, you would chat with me as I placed your meals on the oven and marked your blue ticket with the date. Although I enjoyed the delicious chocolate bars you gave us when we delivered your meals, I mostly enjoyed your company, your laugh, and your enthusiasm for education.
Over the years, I am grateful for all the stories you have shared and that you have allowed me to share my stories with you. In addition, I am grateful that you have supported me throughout my education and my quest to go beyond what I know in my post-graduation life. I am grateful that I was able to share my new adventure with you and although you’re no longer here, I believe that you’re in a place where you will be able to see your loved ones who have left you so long ago, listen to orchestral music to your hearts content, and look over those who are still here missing your voice and your laugh. Lastly, even though it hurt, I’m grateful that I was able to see you one last time.
Thank you for being you, I could not have asked for a better friend and inspiration.
P.S - It was snowing this morning, I’m sure you did that just for Carrie!
Love you.
David Bazan + Pandora Station = Best Life Decision
Seriously.
This station plays solo Bazan, Headphones, and Pedro The Lion with an occasional Death Cab/Iron and Wine song.
Edit: Uh-oh. I think Pandora knows about my tumblr post and is ‘punishing’ me by playing non-Bazan tunes for the past nine songs. At least the songs are good. You win this time Pandora.
