"Grief ebbs but grief never ends. Death ends a life but death does not end a relationship. If we allow ourselves to be still and if we take responsibility for our grief, the grief becomes as polished and luminous and mysterious as death itself. When it does, we learn to love anew, not only the one who has died. We learn to love anew those who yet live." --Julius Lester
A counselor who worked with Aaron in Madison two years ago shared some memories of Aaron with me. I liked hearing that Aaron didn't care to project a "tough guy" image. He was fine being himself in groups of peers. The counselor considered Aaron one of the "Hippie kids". I think Aaron would like the label...Hippie kid.
