Narrative Closure

It's been more than five months since I last turned to the serialized account of my son's loss which, with bitter irony, I chose to title "Aaron's Story" - and nearly four since I last even looked at how I wanted to bring it to its inevitable resolution. With this week marking a year since those events, I find myself drawn to finally finishing this series, sharing the memories before their vividness begins to fade, giving myself - and all of you out there who have given me your precious and limitless empathy and devotion - painful, yet liberating closure to the process I began back in August.

At least, I have started. I hope to complete this over the weekend, or perhaps early next week. Till then, have a good Shabbos, and joy and kindness to all.
