Man, that is some hard stuff to deal with and it takes a long time to work out. Yes, talking about and syncing with others who have gone through really really helps much. Where are you at now anyway? Good to sync up here sometime...I'll be back in SF JAN 6 - end of JAN (no return ticket yet! ;) You take care too man! I think you did tell me.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Yes, I've found it important to realize that I'm still here, but make sure I do the most I can at any given moment. Maybe I've slipped a little here and there. And, it definitely made me grow up faster. I see now why you are chipping away at big things all the time and this all puts into focus the altruistic nature of the global problems we are hacking on together. My memory gets a bit clearer.

I feel somewhat connected, since my two younger brothers passed away in a car accident--approaching 6 years now (in February). Don't know if I've ever shared with you, but want to say I'm thinking about you today, especially in relation to the direct loss & hurt, but also in the sometimes abstract, surreal nature of it all. I'm glad that you've been able to begin to integrate the various pieces of time in your life again. Keep processing, keep remembering, and keep hacking.
