inmemoryofjasonI met Jason back in the early days of the internet, when he joined our little group currently obsessing over LOTR. I quickly found out that we shared a love of so many more things than LOTR, and we had numerous conversations about musical theatre, the Marvel fandom, past-life theory, books, and most recently ... a love of history. In the midst of all he had going on, he even took the time to email me information about local programs at English universities, when I was seriously considering studying history abroad.
That's the kind of person he was - caring, compassionate, and always willing to help somebody out in the best way that he could.
I'd always hoped that I could make it out there again one day, and we could have a geeky venture out into the countryside to see Hadrian's Wall, and various other landmarks. That we'd have some marathon sessions of watching favorite movies and tv shows, and geek out over some of our shared interests. To think that such a vibrant spirit was taken from us is incomprehensible, and that we'll never get another one of those full-of-life LJ entries filled with such love and happiness ... impossible to accept.
JJ, wherever you are right now, you're always going to be missed. I wish that I could have had the chance to meet you when you visited the US, but I know when I finally make it back to the UK you'll be there with me in spirit - maybe as the breeze blowing softly across the corridors of Hampton Court, or the bright eyed child in the gift shop begging for just one more history book. Nobody knows what comes next, but I know your spirit will always live on in many different ways, in each and every single person that you knew.
Because your presence while living, left such a lasting impression on us all. It taught us many lessons about learning to accept, and just *BE*, who you truly are - without regret.
A life well lived, indeed.
