Hey Jon, You're on my mind today. I think about your strength. Still. Kiran

The Saturday before your birthday, I gave a talk in your honor at my synagogue. I spoke about the surprising iconography in the seals of the Judeaen kings Ahaz and Hezekiah. I decided to speak about Ahaz and Hezekiah because like us, they were father and son. And like you, Hezekiah was beloved and respected both during and after his lifetime. On your birthday, Mom, Josh and I went to brunch with Marisa. It was nice to have one of your good friends with us on that day and you were there with us. We all love you.

I recommeded your music to a stranger in a bar last night, and then I thought I should check what's happening on the site. Guess I just missed your birthday. Think of you frequently.

Happy birthday Jonathan. I will always have you in my thoughts.

Jonathan, I think about you everyday. I miss you very much.

Jonathan - We think of you on your birthday and every other day. Uncle Mark and Aunt Elfie

Tonight is your yahrzeit again, four years since you've gone. It doesn't seem that long, but time has been very strange since you first got sick. This year as always, your yahrzeit falls the day before the fast day, the 17th of Tammuz. In addition, this year it coincides with the baseball all-star game. Mom and I talked about how when you and Josh were kids, the night of the all-star game would be virtually the only time that we would have dinner without you. You and Josh would want to be left alone to concentrate on the game. Today I thought about how you make my all world all star team, not for being the best at baseball, but for being the best person I ever new. I wonder how you and your childeren would have made this world a better place and I realize that it is appropriate that Jews, and in fact all people, observe a day of mourning following your yahrzeit. I love you still again.

We'll be playing with Lynx, Mode Mode, and Speedy Vulva. Some days you don't forget.

Today Mom and I talked about how your illness has become like a bad dream, terrible but not real. How could it be? You are with us still as you always were and always will be.
