Evan is proud of his independence. He loves it when he is able to commute, order, eat, and live independently. One situation where he can do this is when riding public transportation and in planes.
When we get on the bus or T, he sees where I am going to sit and makes sure to find another seat 10-20 feet away. Within sight and sound, but not next to me.
Last time we were flying together, he asked on the jet-bridge if we were sitting next to each other. I said no. He smiled and nodded.
A kind and well-intentioned ticketing-desk lady once offered to change our seats so we could sit next to each other. I explained the reason and she smiled and nodded.
Two days ago Evan and I were riding the bus home. He was sitting 3 rows in front of me. After listening to his music for 12 minutes, he called my name, "Brigham! 9 more days until Avengers!" I smiled and nodded.
Oh please, Universe, send someone else to go see this movie with Evan!
