Travis,today is the first year anniversary of your death. I am going to try my best not to grieve. Instead I will honor you and find joy. I will listen to Vivaldi and Bach. And ,of course, The Avett Brothers, Josh Ritter, and Ray LaMontagne. I will dance as we did at the ashram. I will walk in the hills and take the time to truly appreciate the beauty of this world. I will sit in the red dirt and relish the sunshine on my face and the soft breeze playing with my hair. And while there, I will think of our time together. Our laughs, our hugs, our silliness, our conversations, our dreams, our tears, our love. I will bite off a piece of your favorite chocolate and savor the taste. I know that in the morning, grief will again take my hand in hers and we will continue this difficult journey. But not today, Travis. Not today. I love you, Son.
