I am glad that February 25th is over for another year...as well as the last Friday of February. I don't really care for either one, really. Such a traumatic time for our family, in particular Jenny, Arne and Kjell and also for many others who loved and cared for Dane. Anniversaries of deaths are not a pleasant thing as a rule, but for me, I think the suddenness and shock of Dane's death at 23 years of age is something that is still hard to process On Friday night, as we were falling asleep, Jack said to me, "When I think of Dane being gone, I can't believe how profound his loss is, how tragic it is, and how I still can't reconcile it". I feel the same way. And I continue to be amazed at how Jenny has learned to work around her grief and mourning in the most positive way possible. With that in mind, we had our yearly toast to Dane at Muldoon's, a restaurant where we gathered with Dane's friends the night of Dane's funeral. There are some really fine and fun people involved and I find it such a comfort to be with them.
I wanted to add some pictures, but am having trouble loading them. It's too late for me to problem solve, so I will try again tomorrow. Or maybe I will just post a few from my phone via a mobile post. We'll see. No pun intended.
