A new year has begun and here’s to hoping that the new year will be better than the last. Through out 2008 I kept saying that it couldn’t get worse and then it did. And continued to get worse.

My mom received a call that Steve’s ashes are ready to be picked up. It’s really hard to understand the scale of never. I can’t stop thinking about what never really means. I will never see Steve again. He will never walk into the shop and say hi. The body that he was in doesn’t even exist anymore. It’s just a pile of ash.

Never is a long time.
