Appropriate times to cry...
In the produce aisle at new seasons while you are feeling up a peach to see if it's ripe.
When you’re playing basketball and realize that his name isn’t on the ball anymore.
At the end of 10 Things I Hate About You.
While you’re reading James Baldwin.
When you see his plane ticket stub while you’re cleaning your room.
Taking down the pictures on your wall of people living in Oakland who were a big part of your life and putting up shelves in the empty space to house your plants and books.
If you haven’t seen a friend in a long while and they ask you how so and so is liking Portland.
