Tomorrow we would have been celebrating your 22nd BDay. I often wonder what you would look like, what course of study you would have liked, who you would have been dating, what your thoughts are the years post college/university. I have caught myself peering around restaurants and public places imagining what you would look like.
Many of your friends have now graduated from college/university. This past graduation season has been a bit rough on the psych. Still some of your friends keep in touch which has been wonderful but now as they begin to disperse into the far reaches of the world, I sense a little bit more of you slipping away with them.
Jasmine will be the same age as you were next spring. She has taken her SATs and is has begun to consider schools. The next year will likely be even more turbulent emotionally as she pushes forward beyond her Senior year of high school.
We've established a financial award in your name at TEAM. They have awarded it 3 times thus far to various people for various activities. We are trying to formalize the process and criteria. The basic tenants are that TEAM had a significant impact on their life's trajectory coupled with a boundless love of the outdoors. Simple. In essence it embodies as best we are able to your spirit in hopes the monies will enable someone else to reach their goals.
I have not posted a blog in quite some time. I have considered taking it down but I have not been able to do so. Thus I will endeavor to write to you periodically throughout this year and see where it takes us.'
Miss you.
