SEEMS LIKE MY WHOLE LIFE I’VE WAITED
So today it has suddenly occurred to me that tomorrow is Jason’s Yarzeit. In two days, I will be performing at our temple my emotional song for him in front of a lot of people. I took my children to a family service a few times, and managed to get through it. This Saturday would be the first time in twenty-five years that I attended an adult service on this holiday. I’ve felt spiritual lately, and reborn. My voice and my soul are very connected. Although there is no guarantee I won’t make a mistake, I’ve decided I’m human and I’ll simply do the best I can when I play my song.

ALL MY LIFE NEVER PREPARED ME
There was another tape still left – it was from Jason’s funeral. When Jason died, the funeral was scheduled two days later. I wanted to say something, but decided it would be far too difficult to speak at my child’s funeral. Instead, I made a speech on a cassette, which was played to a hushed audience in a crowded chapel.

I’VE LIVED AMIDST BROKEN HEARTS
Although I am tired, I want to write about my lunch today seeing Lori and Allison. Both women looked absolutely wonderful; neither had changed at all – in fact all three of us looked radiant in comparison to those times where we carried the heavy load of grief. We all agreed that uncertainty made our lives precious indeed. We all talked about how keenly sensitive we were to other peoples’ tragedies, and how easy it was to absorb that pain. As we parted, we all agreed that it would not be another twelve years until we met again. Continue reading →
