Adrian - How has this much time passed since you left us—almost one whole year? As we reach the holiday season, I can’t help but think of you and where I was last year during this time. So much has changed, but I am still thinking of you. As the nights get darker sooner and the weather gets colder, I can’t help but feel the grief in my heart weigh heavier. Sending warm thoughts to you in heaven and to all the friends and family who are also feeling the winter cold a little extra this season without you here.

Adrian - My heart hurts tonight as I lie in my bed at 2AM thinking about your death. You’ve  been on my mind more frequently this past month and little things seem to always find a way of connecting themselves to the small memories and stories I’ve heard about you. I wonder if you’re watching my pain or if you can hear my thoughts when I speak to you. How are you? Let me know. I hope to hear from you soon - maybe in my dreams tonight when I fall asleep or the butterflies or in the clouds. Just make sure I know it’s you, okay?

Adrian - I find myself still thinking about you. Even though quite some time has passed and there is no longer anything tying me to you, I catch myself coming to this page somehow still drawn to your energy. The thought of your death no longer floods my memory the way that it used to and my eyes no longer tear up, yet there’s a part in my heart that aches when I read your obituary the same way that it ached when I first read it. It yearns to give you a hug in hopes that this pain will dissipate. The weight of your death is felt and I think that no matter how much time passes, my heart will ache just the same.

Today I listened to Billie, thinking of you as I always do in days like today. I thought of your smile and your laugh that brought happiness into my life . It’s spring again. First spring without you, and yet the flowers still bloom, the earth still spins, and life keeps on. And you are all I can think of, when it rains, when I see the tree blossoms, in the car feeling the breeze against my skin. I miss you my dear friend. So deeply I miss you.

Adrian - It has been a couple months now and I think I am still struggling to understand the concept of how time continues to move forward and how the earth continues to rotate in the face of death. It’s hard for me to watch the sun setting while the moon rises and the moon setting as the sun rises because it acts as a reminder that the days are passing by without you here. I wonder if we are just light years apart with me physically grounded on this planet and your spirit free somewhere in the universe or deep out into the ethers, yet we are still connected in someway because we still see the same sun and the same moon. I hope that’s true because it brings me some sense of comfort and I can only wish that your view is so much more beautiful than my human mind could ever cease to imagine.

Adrian - it’s been a month since your passing. I still find myself thinking about you and visiting this page often. In my family, the one month mark is important as it signifies the time when your spirit leaves the physical world. I hope your soul has traveled smoothly and safely to heaven. I hope that you are happy and at peace. Rest easy now. Please watch over your family and give them blessings upon blessings.  Guide them in times of darkness and fill their lives with light and their hearts with love. I hope one day we’ll be able to laugh together and I’ll get to see that smile. You are missed greatly.

My condolences  to your family  and friends  🙏 😢 💔 😞 🤍 will have you guys in my prayers .
