Thru the Looking Glass
I am adding a new link today. "Thru the Looking Glass" is my blog brother _Jon's other blog. (His other blog is We Swear.) _Jon lost his fiancee, Julie, on January 27 to cancer. As his blog states, "This is the tale of Julie's last year and the effect it has had on the people around her. "
Starting on 1 August, _Jon started posting on the daily experience they had exactly one year ago that day. I've been reading it and e-mailed him, asking him if I could put a link on my blog, so I could just link over from here as opposed to going to We Swear and linking over or typing it in manually every time. I told him I would say nothing to anyone, as I view this as a catharsis for him. I would just put it there and use it. His response to me was that the more people that read it, the more people it helps and he talks about it openly. I think it is a very healthy attitude.
So with that, I am adding, Thru the Looking Glass. It is tough to read and there are times I cannot, but every day I try. My thoughts are with you every day, _Jon.

I've been stopping over there for a while now also. Never leave a comment, actually went in from my bookmark. It felt like a private place, that's why I never mentioned it either. In fact, it was not until recently I realized they were one and the same person.
I'm glad you are linking to it. I'll add to my roll also. My heart breaks for him, a loss like that is beyond words.
I NEVER comment there either. I just read. I really wasn't going to post on it, just put it on my roll with his permission. It never occured to me that he would be so thoughtful to think of others it would help. I know damn well I'm not that good of a person.
Damn, my heart aches for him.
