Wearing purple

Dear Dan,

As promised on Facebook, I’m wearing purple. In remembrance of those kids who committed suicide recently.

Truthfully, I’m also wearing it for you. Purple was never one of your favorites. I think it was aversion therapy from when I was little and everything had to be purple. You know the color I’m talking about — the blue purple; not the red purple. I was so particular!

I can see you rolling your eyes and groaning “Purple. Did it have to be purple?”

So this purple is for you, bro.

I love and miss you!
