Driving to the mailbox was my routine on my return if and when I ever left the house these past two years. Yet again the postman left the package in box # 2. Yet again it did not open, yet again I had to wait.

The ending Dan was perfect a bittersweet moment. Jonathan had a lot of your natural instinct in film making as well as within his life choices. If he had that chance to grow like you, he would of made a hell of a movie writer director and editor!
Just for today Dan I thank you for these memories you have given me that I never had; the memories I relived.
I now understand how hard this was for you to produce. It is a process we go through a process of pain and grief. We all need that chance to do what we have to do. Dan from the beginning I saw this tragedy as just another 12 step program of life. Thank you for posting on my wall that day on Facebook, and I thank you for this gift you sent. May you have peace now just for the moment. May you get stronger each day if you are able.
