My oh my, how time flies.
It has been 14 years since you first entered our lives. It doesn’t feel like 14 years, though. It feels like a moment. A wonderful moment in which we shared together.
When dad first found you underneath his Ford Focus, you immediately became a most-valued member of our family. Your curiosity and playful nature brought ear-to-ear smiles at times when there wasn’t much to smile about. While our little family has shrunk in size over time, your presence in it has always been one that is both welcomed and celebrated.
With everyone you’ve met, you’ve managed to bring them joy. Your charm and charisma have brightened the day’s of more people than you could possibly know, myself especially. It might be weird to say, but I’ve found a lot of inspiration in you. Inspiration to be unapologetically myself, because there are people out there who will not only accept it, but appreciate it.
I know the last six months haven’t been easy for you. I know you don’t understand why you had to take over 200 pills, and get crated off to the vet every other day. The truth is, I just wanted more time. I wanted more time because I’m scared. Scared to lose the being that’s most important to me. To tell you the truth, these last few months with you have been some of the most precious times in my life. Having to put everything aside to focus on you has been, in its own weird way, a true joy. I hope you can forgive me for that.
I have to let you go now. Wherever you are, I hope that there’s beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way. May you find warmth and comfort in those golden rays, and get yourself a well-earned rest. Oh, and tell dad that we say hi and that we miss him very much.
I love you Lucille. You’re just as beautiful now as the first day that I met you, and I’m looking forward to catching up and playing string gambit when the time comes for us to meet again. I know we’ll have a lot to talk about.
Yours,
Graeme

I wait; outside, awake.
A little over a year I began my career in film. It hasn’t been without it’s struggles: feelings of uncertainty, questioning my own ability, trying to foster new relationships, etc. An introvert like myself felt at times on the outside looking in on an industry I longed to be a part of.
That said, I am grateful for it all. I have met some truly wonderful people that have done so much me. I can only hope one day I can repay all the kindness and generosity that was placed in my direction. I am forever in your debt.
I’m more committed than ever that this is what I was meant to do, as the creation of cinema provides a fulfillment within my soul that makes all the aches and pains from the long days dissolve away. There really is nothing quite like it.
I look forward to working with you all for many years to come, and I hope you’re all doing well 🤘🏻
Twenty Nine.
Boy who never did what he was told.
Not a day goes by that I don’t hope to see you walk through that door.
Even though I can’t see you, I hope you can see me.
