Smile because it happened

Dear Dan,

The last Harry Potter movie is out. It's over; no more movies, no more books, no more scenes that remind me of you.

I wish you had been around for the last. I would have loved to talk about it with you. It's a brilliant movie and a fitting end to a brilliant series.

It's also the end of another connection between us. However, as Sirius Black said, "The ones we love never really leave us. We can find them here, in our hearts."

I also remind myself, "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."

I love you, bro.
