Yay. <br /><br />It is so cool to see how you and Tim and Margaret got to share Jack with the world and how what comes back to you, even though he's no longer here, is such a beautiful love from all those who he knew, knew him and were touched by him. <br /><br />Of course, let's not forget those in the blogosphere who have been touched too by Jack - like me. :-))<br /><br />Big Hugs and Love to You, Tim and Margaret.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014066951851923567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-60785707790481487662012-09-22T19:29:36.994-07:002012-09-22T19:29:36.994-07:00I'm bawling here.

We reserved a room for lunch and looked at his pictures of all his goofy faces he used to make and we told goofy Joey stories. On his second crapiversary, my husband planned for us to be out of town until I reminded him what day it was. And he said, "Oh," and he just knew I wouldn't go anywhere because I had to be here with Joey. I hope all of Jack's crapiversaries are as peaceful as this one. I feel like there is more I should say.

We can't make it better, but we can share in the love & the pain. If I could, I would change what happened, since I can't I can share a little bit of it.
