"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good ol' days, before you've actually left them."
-Andy Bernard, The Office.
One of my favorite moments happened just before my brother left on his mission. We were coming back home from driving all over africa to find a certain camera, when we decided to listen to the old music we could both agree on.
First came Good Charlotte, Yellow Card, Hawthorne Heights, and Fall Out Boy but by then our lungs were sick of screaming and we changed it to old school rap, that we both used to love.

Will Smith's voice carried us into Lehi and just as we were turning into our neighborhood, I snapped a picture of my brother driving and smiling. Drake, with absolutely no idea, gave me my favorite picture.
Its one of my all time favorite pictures, period.
(I may have too many favorites... but this picture is a real favorite. the favorite kind you look at too often. The kind that you look it and can remember details of the moment that you took the picture, the sequence of events that took place that day and how happy you both were. Wedding Day type of pictures.)
"You wont even notice he's gone, You'll be finnnne" said my one of my aunts.
I miss him in a way I don't think she missed her brother.
maybe its good, in the sense that we were so close, but maybe its bad, in the sense that I'm wasting my time at work to re-read his emails and write this post about him.
I love pictures like this; taken right in the middle of life, the middle of a sentence, a 'moment picture.'
