You know when you meet someone special and their energy and personality just resonates with you? That was Jim. I remember meeting him when I was in Junior High and Amber and I had become close friends. I got to meet him at family gatherings for holidays and was always excited to see him again because he was so fun, witty, tattooed, and cool. He gave off this air of relaxation, contentedness, and acceptance. I wanted to be just like him when I grew up. When I got to witness your (Liesa's) relationship with Jim, I was even more excited at the possibility of growing up and finding someone who matched me as well as you two matched each other. The love was palpable and ever-present. I'm so glad you found each other, and I'm lucky that I got to experience Jim's awesomeness myself. Liesa, I know that your shared love will carry you into the next life. I hope your heartache eases and gets replaced with the happiest of memories.
