Today is a day to remember those we lost in the Virginia Tech shooting that happened 3 years ago. For me that is Jarrett. For those who don’t know, Jarrett was my brother-in-law. So today I’m remembering Jarrett. Jarrett was:
- a fantastic son to Tracey
- a amazing grandson to Nancy and Bob
- a wonderful brother to Alicia and Fawn
- a great brother in law to Roger and I
- an awesome friend to all his friends
Thinking back to 4/16/2007 brings up a lot of hurt. It was an awful and horrible day and no one should ever have to experience a day(or week for that matter) like that. But all I can do to handle that experience and the loss is to be grateful for the time I had with Jarrett. Jarrett, it was such an honor to have you in my life for the time that I did. You were a great brother-in-law and friend. I miss you terribly.
You’ve said everything and more than I could say, and said it better. Jarrett was my Daughter-in-law’s brother so I think of him as a “Son-in-law.” He is missed but not forgotten now or forever more.
Love to you dude. I know days like this aren’t easy. Wish I could be there to spend some time with you.
