When days drag, here in the office alone and the optimism is low,
There’s this; your quick video of the open road.
My smile begins across the eyes, a sparkle creates a giggle, my mind senses your truth.
I’m not there but I feel the energy you often exude.
A tractor trailer rolls on down the road, spit causes the shine, and your power is felt by everyone as you drive along by.
Yet, Little Deuce Coupe, is the tune you’re singing, tapping your cowboy boot against the pedal: a musical pair unlike any other.
And I grin, because I’m proud of you, who you are, and wish I was riding along, Big Brother.

A beautiful and vivid picture you paint of your close sibling relationship, Audrey. My kids (26 & 29) are the same and I am thankful. Wonderful post. Take care! ❤️

I had to smile when my brother sent me a snapchat of his work day. Always has a smile for me. So stern but the childlike chuckles and true self leave me satisfied. Thank you for saying so.

We’re fortunate for a friendship forged out of childhood experience. He’s kept me from running away and I’ve saved him from long nights. Been a best friend a long time.
I’m doing okay, Shari. Work is busy and encouraged editing keeps me nailed down. I’ll be vacationing soon – up high. Something about the continental divide helps to center me. Welcoming secluded writing time. Praying you are well, friend. ♡
