Sometimes when I want to feel rich, I open the Find My Friends app.
I feel incredibly rich when I see the little dots that light up and show me where all of my beloved family members are. I am so lucky to have so many little dots filling up the map.
This weekend, your 20th birthday, your siblings were flung across three different states. I zoomed out so I could see us all in one screen. Our family, all in those little dots.
Except you.
There's no dot that lights up for you.
I don't have location services enabled for your phone...you never did have one.
I wonder where you would have been on this birthday. Twenty is a big number...or is it?
I don't have location services turned on for you, but I know where you are every day - it sounds so silly, but I know you're deeply enmeshed in each one of us.
I just wish you were here to have a little dot too.
Happy 20th, Sammy. We miss you bunches.
