A BOX full of LOVE

My dearest sister: in response to your comment on my post of February the 16th, I would like to apologize profusely for my callous disregard of your feelings regarding your generous gift to me. Unfortunately, circumstances found me in a position unable to fully appreciate the HEART and SOUL that poured out of that box along with Reese's Cups and a Green Tote Bag. I had only the smallest sliver of time to find and activate my debit card, get money to pay my hotel bill, eat lunch, and pack before heading to Carnival. In addition, I felt that the story of how I RECEIVED the box would be of more interest to my readers than what was IN the box. This DOES NOT imply that I did not love your gift - just that for people sitting soundly in their luxurious homes in America, the idea of a box full of Reese's Candy (my FAVORITE and UNAVAILABLE this far south) and a miraculously thoughtful gift that returns you to your childhood just can't be as exciting as it is to me, your ever-loving brother. My sincerest hope is that you can feel my love across the electrons, and find it within yourself to forgive my oafish behavior and be able to call me your Brother.

And for the record, please see below for a picture that was snapped of me as I opened your box by someone who mistook me for a young Brad Pitt.

Sincerely yours,
Devin Dru Chico Mohammed sid Raffi Hafiz Malone
