Gaping hole

This is a quote from Christopher Walken that someone posted to the Kimballs' wall since this week is the one-year anniversary of Evan's accident. I think you liked him as an actor. I'm guessing you did since he is somewhat "alternative." Love you!

Someday you will be faced with the reality of loss. And, as life goes on, days rolling into nights, it will become clear that you never really stop missing someone special who's gone, you just learn to live around the gaping hole of their absence. When you lose someone you can't imagine living without, your heart breaks wide open, and the bad news is you never completely get over the loss. You will never forget them. However, in a backwards way, this is also the good news. They will live on in the warmth of your broken heart that doesn't fully heal back up, and you will continue to grow and experience life, even with your wound. It's like badly breaking your ankle, that never heals perfectly, and that still hurts when you dance, but you dance anyway with a slight limp, and this limp just adds to the depth of your performance and the authenticity of your character. The people you lose remain a part of you. Remember them and always cherish the good moments spent with them.

Side note totally unrelated to this: I was talking to Mrs. Lovett at senior night for the water polo boys, and she reminded me about the barbershop quartet some of you guys were trying to put together for the talent show. You guys admitted that you were really bad. Ha ha!

By the way, Robbie Amori is playing water polo this season! Of course, he says he wished he joined the team sooner. I know he did it because of you! He is so special! I'm glad you were friends. Love you!
