sharing moments, 11.17.21

one of the last things i said at your funeral was that if you ever come to visit us down here, make sure you make your presence known. today at a training, our it guy was sharing his screen showing us this new joint called box, where we will host all our files as we move on from dropbox. he was demonstrating the search function and he searched ‘dns.’ although those are your intials, i thought that was still mad random. earlier in the night, after i got home from work i was laying in bed scrolling through ig. this dude with a growth on his face came up on my feed. i go to his page and i’m watching his videos and in one video, he asked his friend to guess the word written on his hand for $1000 bucks. it was 'nah’, and his friend said nah in the context that he’s not participating. the thing is, his friend’s name was donovan. that’s when it hit me, like okay, you here with me right now. i stopped scrolling, looked at your figures sitting on my top shelf and said whatup dono!! your mom added me on facebook earlier in the week and i sent her a message hoping she was doing well. we all miss you down here, thanks for checking on me today dono.

i really needed it.
