Im sadden by the news that my former friend Tracy's husband passed away suddenly. I remember when I first met Tracy and Jason and their children Riley and Abbey. Abbey was about 5 months old at the time, and it was 5 months after I had my miscarraige. Tracy was the one who told me to put together a mini memorial album for Gummi Bear, and I remember when I went over to their place in Whangaporoa, she showed me the little album she made of their baby they had miscarried before Abbey...I owed alot of the two of them, without them I wouldnt have gotten through those months after losing Gummi.
Abbey was the first baby I held since I lost mine, I remember that day, I struggled so much, I ended up crying and Jason took her off me and said it was ok that in time I would be stronger...he was right, I did get stronger for the next time went over there I was able to hold Abbey with no problems. I use to love going over to their place for crops....Jason would always comment on what we had been working on when he came home from work....always postive supportive comments.
I will always treasure those two times I met him, and for knowing him, he was a very loving man. I think of what Tracy must be going through - it reminds me very much of when my good friend Rebecca McDonell lost her husband Regan in a MVA about a month before I met Tracy. It is from Bex that I also grew to understand death in a more artistic form......Bex created the Art of Grief and put out the Waves of Grief Exhibition....Bex is someone I would always refer people to to talk about Grief...
My prayers and thoughts are with the Palmer Family at this time...
RIP Jason.
