We are leaving California in a few more hours. The journey home to North Carolina seems daunting and the grief continues to come in waves. My mom was particularly sad today. We've been keeping busy though and celebrating my Aunt Chris' birthday here in her house in Tracy, about 30 miles East of Berkeley. Tonight we'll be staying in Reno, NV and hopefully have time to make it out to the Black Rock Desert, where Burning Man takes place each year. For me, the last eight years have revolved around the event, which Dan was thinking about coming to in 2008. I think my parents need to at least see the location of Burning Man to understand me a little better . We are committing ourselves to better understanding as a family...

Dear Greg,
Blessings to you and your family as you begin this journey. Healing takes a long, long, long time, so remember to give yourselves patience and forgiveness for the things you might think or feel.
My mom's younger brother shot himself, he felt like he let everyone down I guess, but he hid the extent of his depression so well, even his adult children did not have a clue that he would do this. It's something that you never really get over, the questions you can never answer and the anger you inevitably feel at times.
I pray that you and your family will find the strength and love to make it through this horrible time.
We are sending love your way and hope that you know we are all there to support you and help in any way we can, even if it's just to say, "We love you"
Anile
