Sorry we missed your Birthday. Congratulations on the BIG 50. I remember going to watch you play a football game. I don't remember who won I do remember us yelling "there's Brian". I didn't know if it was you or not it was just so much fun yelling at the big kids.

Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
