REMEMBERING ALEX 'LARRY SWEENEY' WHYBROW

I remember your wit and your endless smile, which could brighten any room whenever you wanted it to.

I remember your timing, your intuition. Knowing the exact moment to react when to frown, when to pout, when to be elated, and when to gloat.

I remember your uncanny ability to talk an audience into any situation, and I remember watching you do the same with your eyes and not saying a word.

I remember you strutting, in command of yourself and confident and brilliant, and watching people in awe of that.

I remember when that changed.

I remember dreading the times when I had to bear bad news to you, even when I privately empathized.

I remember your handshake and how you looked me in the eye like a man, even when it would have been easier to avoid it.

I remember you taking everything in stride; it was like you knew the road you were on because you’d been on it before.

I remember talking to you, sometimes for hours about nothing, with a tear streaming my cheek as I prayed for your wellness.

I remember the last time I told you to be safe and that I loved you and I meant it.

I remember you, my friend.

I always will.
