It's been just over a year since we lost Jason. When I think about it, the loss seems fresh still, as if it were a recent one. Recalling all the things that have happened in the past year, make it seem like forever.
I wonder often if the reason my stomach still knots when I think of Jason, is how I have dealt with his death, or rather the fact that I haven't. I also think our friends have had a difficult time dealing with it as well.
With that in mind, I am appreciative and grateful today for the efforts of Egan and Kam, and also the company of Archie, Carlos, Nate, Brian, Sam, and Rudy. The gathering yesterday in memory of Jason, was in someways a beginning. Healing is often slow, sometimes it stops and restarts, but always it is easier when you feel like you aren't alone.
