This Sunday would have been Alex’s 25th birthday
and I've been thinking about him a lot lately, feeling very nostalgic. I’ll be
doing something completely unrelated to him and all of a sudden a memory will
pop into my head. Or someone will walk by me and the body lotion they used will
take me back to summer days spent together in Montréal. A song will come on the
radio that he used to love, a stranger walking by will have his walk, a show he
used to watch will come up on my Netflix homepage- everything has been coming
back to him.
I guess this is my little birthday tribute to him- I wish there could be more, I wish that memories weren't all that's left ... but I'm grateful that each and every memory is a good one.
