One thing I'd particularly like to direct you towards -- my friend Stew sent us an mp3 of the song he wrote for Jasmine's memorial. It is beautiful -- I'll let it speak for itself. It's on her memorial page. If you like his stuff -- and you should, because it's fabulous -- then go here and download more. He's very modest about his talent, but I encourage you to spam his mailbox with compliments about how wonderful and talented he is.

As I've been thinking about my support network this weekend, I really wanted to recognize you all -- those of you who read here. Therapists tend to scoff at the support offered by the online world, but I say it's because they're by and large luddites who think online communities are cold and impersonal. Every one of you has commented at least once and offered support in the healing after Jasmine's death. Every one of you has helped me this year. So thank you. Humbly and from my deepest, bloody heart.
