The Best of the Best

Not to get too judgmental or competitive or whatever, but Sean Sullivan was basically the best person I knew.  At the very least, he was among the golden few. He transcended the usual fluff.

Sean would most always recognize the best in me. He would also recognize my many faults and shortcomings, but I can't remember a time when he judged me for them. He would tease me, of course, that's what we did, but he never laid into me about my varied issues.

On the contrary, he had this ability to focus on the positive things about me, which was especially helpful when I couldn't do that for myself. This allowed me to see my own goodness. And naturally I would see it in him too.

I'm not alone here, he did this with everyone. That's part of what made him so special. I continue to learn so much from him.

Man, I miss him so much. I love you Sean.
