Tim your love and light will always be seen for it shines luminous throughout the entirety of my friend, Jose's life and brightest in the eyes of your son.

I remember like yesterday...

Jose called to say he wanted to visit me at work, wanted to bring his new man and have a few drinks at the bar. I think you'd only been together a few weeks maybe and you both sat at the bar completely enraptured with each other. It was a joy watch. Your legs entwined, hands caressing as you both leaned so close listening to each other's words like each word was a sacred jewel.

I could see that for both of you the world had dissolved, nothing existed but the warmth and touch of the other, the attention and gaze of each other...

This was love blooming and it was so beautiful to watch. 

You drunk many martinis that night but truth be told you guys were already drunk on each other's hearts...

I realize now that the bubble of love and light that surrounded you that night grew to surround everyone that knew you and your love for each other made everyone feel their own hearts. I know it made me feel mine. 

Thank you Tim for allowing me to see something so beautiful but mostly, thank you for loving my friend, Jose.
