the first thing i forgot to tell you

i read the old man and sea just like you asked me to. i finished it while you were still alive but i forgot to tell you about it when we last spoke. just so you know--it was beautiful. i could envision every single thing that happened in the story. anytime i go to the ocean, i will think of you now. the sun reflecting on the water. that's how i'll know that you're there with me.
