Michele 1 #4 July 16, 2006 Yes, Jp, you matter. You matter to many people, not the least of which those you're named Deuce for (the twins)...or your wife...or your friends. You matter. And you're loved. Now go have a beer and contemplate your navel; you've got a midlife thing going on right now...it'll pass.

VectorBoy 0 #8 July 16, 2006 Duece matters muncho. Few dot commers have such a fine tuned sense of humor. The creepy guy on the cover art for your DVD is completely replaceable though, except for the neon tube, thats cool! I got to get me one of those.

What the rest of the world thinks doesn't matter.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Deuce 1 #13 July 16, 2006 Yeah, geez, what possessed me? I guess Shannon blinking out really bugged me. Being all hedonistic I wondered what would happen if I blinked out like that. I'm sure I'd get a flag draped coffin and the folded version of it handed to my wife by a guy who hated me. Just a wierd mood. We used to to a lot of that here. Not so much anymore. JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ladyskydiver 0 #14 July 16, 2006 Hugs, Deuce! You're loved and would be missed.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

I'm sure I'd get a flag draped coffin and the folded version of it handed to my wife by a guy who hated me. Hedonistic my happy ass. And I'd make sure that whomever handed the flag to your lady loved you as much as the rest of us...not by some dude who hated you. I'd bonk him and hand it to her myself if I thought that were the case. Look. We all grieve and feel the effects of death in this sport very differently. Some people have anger and rage, some have pure tears, some have disbelief. Some ignore it, pass over it. The one thing I know is that grief is not predictable, and follows no time table. And when it shows up, however that is, it needs to be experienced and passed through to be understood. It's real; it needs it's time and space, and for each of us that time and space is different and will manifest differently. It's all right. However it shows up, it's all right. Shannon's passing affected hundreds of us. You're normal for having grief, and you're normal in your response to it. And know what else? You'd be missed so very much...and not just by the skydiving community. You'd be missed. You're worth far more than anyone here could ever tell you; look into your girls' eyes and find your value there. Look at your wife's smile and know your value there. Dance through the sky and know your value there. And rest easy that we all adore, love, and admire you. So there. Go have a beer...and grieve. My love to you, JP. All my love.
