Though a Mirror Darkly
Adventurous, outdoorsy, he’d romped through the woods, all of Adirondack Park his playground, working summers with local farmers and lumberjacks, playing three sports a year in high school.

He wasn’t and never could be the same kid Andrew was, which made today special, because he’d been trying so hard to encourage Patrick to live. Take moderate risks, be adventurous, be a boy, to romp and play in the woods, climb trees, fall and scrape his knees, run his bike off homemade jumps, mess around in the creek out past Mr. Drake’s hay fields, spending every day all summer cooking to a golden brown under the sun.
Instead of hiding inside.
