A Start
"Know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
Like he’s riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
But he’s always moving much too fast
Said he’ll see me on the flipside
On this trip he’s taken for a ride
He’s been taking too much on ...
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes..." - Pearl Jam
I frequently find myself in deep thought, considering how much the life and death of my cousin Andy has affected my outlook on life.
His was a life of extremes. Extreme joy. Extreme sadness. Extreme anger. Extreme addiction. Extreme humor. Extreme shame. Extreme love.
This blog is a start; a start at chronicling the impact his life has had on me and others.

It's beautiful.
What a beautiful statement. How beautiful that God made us to need, desire, and crave relationships. And that a relationship can go with us throughout a lifetime. After all, He designed us with that God-filled vacuumn so we could have a relationship with Him, should we choose it. I'm so glad Andy chose it.
Thank you for this beautiful, loving tribute to our Andy. We miss him every day, every hour of our lives. He celebrated his one-year birthday in Heaven yesterday. One long year without our boy - one year closer to seeing him again.
I love you guys.
