a simple whisper

I suppose I should make the first post here, but I'm so overwhelmed with everything that I can't even begin to properly express my grief. Jason and I were friends for eight years, together for five and a half years, and married for just over a year. I met him the day after my 17th birthday. I've always said meeting him was the best birthday present the universe could have given me. He was (and is and will always be) my soulmate and I can't believe I won't ever hold him again.

He often said knowing that he made someone smile every day was the biggest accomplishment he could wish to achieve. I think the amount of people mourning his loss right now is testament to his success.

I'm trying to collect as many pictures of him from the last few years as I can. His dad doesn't have any recent photos, and Jason was camera shy to say the least. I have a few, but if you have any you'd be comfortable sharing I would appreciate it so, so much. (Please remember to lock any posts with photos in ♥)

Feel free to post here, no matter how close you were or how long you've known him.

Hey, take care of yourself. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of Jason as I never got to meet him.

I just heard, and I am in shock. I can't believe he's gone. I'll share the precious photo from my one visit a couple of years ago.

You and I never met, but I'm sending you a ton of warm hugs.

I met Jason at ELF in 2006 but unfortunately I don't have any photos. I'm just so shocked and deeply saddened. I'm sending you bunches of hugs right now. ♥

I'm sorry. I don't know what to say right now. I just keep crying. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm actually in the middle of an email to you right now, but this seems like a convenient place for this question: is it okay if I post pictures that have you in them? I've got a handful from my visit two years ago, and one's of the three of us. There's one that's just the two of you, as well, which I can definitely email to you if you don't want it posted here.

I realized after I'd posted my memory that I have no pictures from when he was with me in Seattle. He'd had a camera with him, though, and we'd taken many pictures. Did you ever see any?

I still can't believe this happened, so I can't even imagine how it is for you. I hope you have some on the ground support there with you? Again, if there's anything I can do besides beaming love and bright thoughts your way, I'd be happy to do so.

::hugs::

Hi James - it's been a long time. Just tonight I went on a bit of a memory trip through LJ and I am so sorry, shocked, and sad to hear of Jason's passing. He was a fantastic person and I remember being delighted every single time I saw one of his posts show up on my flist. He could somehow always fill me with squee for his fandoms and other interests with his enthusiasm and way with words, even when I didn't have a clue about them.

I don't LJ any more and I only made this account just now to send this message, but hit me up on Facebook if you Facebook (and if you want to, no pressure!) - my full name is Melanie Rae.
