Before she went she told me, “Remember that you are significant,” but I don’t know what that means. Maybe cool? Now two of my favorite people left. Who’s next? MAMA!? Deon can’t take care of me. Do you know who’s the significantest person I know? You. Remember when you and me and Deon did cool things together like fix up the ol’ Chevy? Those were the best days.
