Good friends are hard to find, especially in Rome

This is my best friend Sean. We became friends while serving missions for the LDS church in Guatemala. You are probably thinking that calling someone your best friend seems rather juvenile, but the truth is, I wouldn't call him anything else. We have been like brothers practically since the day we met. His kids even call me Uncle Brett.
Right about now Sean is arriving in Rome where he will spend the next 5 weeks working on projects for his Masters Degree in Fine Arts. What an exciting opportunity he has to expand his vision and knowledge in such a visually rich place. I am grateful for the internet and how small it makes the world. Being able to talk with him via email and applications like Skype make it feel like he is close to home.
Yup, my best friend Sean.
