When I mailed the Skateboard Heart (that Scotty made) to your sister on Saturday (August 4th) the UPS store told me that there was no way it would make it to her address by her birthday, August 7th. They said that just maybe it would get there on Wednesday Aug 8th, but most likely Thursday, Aug 9th. You can imagine my amazement when the gift arrived at your sister's home on Monday Aug 6th.






Tuesday, August 7th was 6 months since you've been gone.  I cried on and off all day. I had to constantly hide somewhere at work so I could cry.   Wednesday 8/8/18,  was the same horrendously painful day for me. I took a walk at lunch, put my sunglasses on so I could cry, and roamed the campus near the art center. I was trying to look for a "new" subject for my lunch time nature photos. I saw this log along the trail next to the cow pasture. I always think it has such character. I've walked by it dozens of times before. I decided to walk up closer to get a better photo and noticed the "Brendan" green color. I could see that it was a pretty weathered ribbon. It occurred to me that the green ribbon symbol must represent a "cause".  I took the photos seen here and decided to check on the meaning of the ribbon when I got back to my office. You can imagine my amazement when I saw some of the symbols the green ribbon stands for. 







Brendan's Dragon.....






I found this book just the other day, randomly placed down on an end shelf far away from it's correct call number placement.  It's books like these that make me feel like you speak to me. Leaving clues here and there so I know you're still around.

Your mum posted this on FB today saying, "Sounds like our boy."  I couldn't agree more B. This describes you so accurately. 









I Don't Need You To Fix Me,
I Just Need You To Love Me 
While I Fix Myself



Brendan's Motto
It is 6 months since you left us. 
It is still as painful 
as it was when it first happened. 
Desperately missing you!
I'll love you forever & never forget you 
Brendan Lai-Wing Leung.
