I have struggled all afternoon with what to say about Jamie’s death. I don’t have the self confidence to think I ever know the right things to say upon learning of some one’s death. This particular piece of heart breaking news gave me more than the usual struggle with words.
June 1st will be the 11 year anniversary of me cheating death by blood clots. Death is a particular subject I have had a lot of difficulty dealing with since then. Each time I thought about writing something about Jamie’s death, I always found myself adding facts about my experience. I didn’t want to do this because I don’t want anyone to think I am putting the spotlight on myself. I worry that even mentioning my experience is too much.
Thank you Jamie for bringing so much love and laughter to so many people. The tears and sadness brought about by your death are softened by the many happy memories we have of you.
