"Alec, I got you something!" called Sketchy.
He handed me a picture I couldn't tear my eyes off of. Max and me, caught in a rare moment, laughing together.
I realized moments like these…Max laughing, smiling, and being playful with me…were ones that I lived for.
"I know you guys don't like to get your picture taken…but I couldn't destroy this," shrugged Sketchy. "It's you guys…and it's good."
It was better than good. I never had a picture that meant anything before. I never understood why people kept them. Now, I do.
"I love it," I said. I love her.
