PASSING FOR NORMAL

My dear Dan

Thank you for making me tea and doing the dishes when I’m sick
Thank you for becoming like my surrogate little family away from home
For adding so much warmth to my life when I feel down or alone
For having a seat in the living room and keeping a seat for me
For your little habits that never change and that make me feel safe
Thank you for the laughter, the support and the friendship
For your hilarious stories about aliens and the making of the world
For the taped mice behavioral experiments you bring home for the cats to watch,
and they do!
For your laid back attitude that gives me perspective and calms me down
For taking my mind away from trouble by making me watch cartoons with you
And explaining the episode for me
For leaving the oven on and then accusing the cat of doing it
For the peace you bring home with your washed down attitude
For the smell of shaving cream in the morning that reminds me of my dad
For 7ala bread you bring back after your dinner with your folks
For wanting to throw a party every day
For explaining American expressions and American politics for me
For saying Gerard de pardieu the way you do evey time i want to laugh
For making fun of Bush
For feeding the cats sometimes
For being like a little brother
For teasing me like a little brother
And for being so much fun
For letting me highlight your hair
For wanting to adopt a monkey
And all the embarrassing stories you share
For all the years you were there
For abstaining from singing in the shower
For being you. The best roommate I could have wished for all those years.
