Derek would have been 36 years old today. But he died exactly two years and one day ago. Even now writing these words is so incredibly painful, pain that has changed from unfocused shock to the ice crystal clarity of knowing that he is gone forever.
I cannot imagine the pain of losing your child, Larry. I dated Derek for one short year, and yet his indelible mark on my life is so strong. I think about him nearly every day, as well as you and your family. Much love and prayers to you all.
