As I sat down to talk with a couple of friends last night after the reunion, the song Africa came on. As I have mentioned before this song was special to Adam because it reminded him of his parents. Just the opening I needed to talk about Adam to these friends who probably didn't know how to bring it up. You know, the elephant in the room syndrome. It was cathartic for me and hopefully enlightening for them to learn more about him and how someone deals with a grief so unimaginable.

Ten year reunion--so young. I remember my 10 year reunion and thinking about the future--it's eons ago. So sad for the kids at their 10-year to have to think about those who have already gone way too soon, but especially for us thinking about Adam and all the years he had ahead to figure things out.
35...10. Both are big milestone reunions, Susan. I'm so glad you have had some cathartic moments with this as it relates to Adam. And I think you're really doing us all a favor, including yourself, to "talk" about it. Thank you.
Planting a tree will be such a great tribute and a memorial. I agree completely with Ginnie, you are doing us a favor by talking about it here. I thank you, too.
