I lost a friend yesterday.
Yesterday I lost a Facebook friend. A young man in a car accident who along with his twin brother I had grown to like. Both have made an enormous contribution to my world view. I had the privilege of painting Jason and his family. We shared a love of reading and he had a wonderful appreciation of history and science. Although there was a sibling rivalry he often spoke fondly of his brother.
I went back over our Facebook conversations and shed many a tear at how insightful Jason was and how deep our conversations were. He was always looking to understand and be understood. When we became more friendly I decided to telephone him. He lived in Alabama.I recall his astonishment at my Australian accent. Often he could devalue himself and not realise his true worth. But he meant a lot to me. I enjoyed looking at the many pictures his wife Lori posted of their children.
People come and go in your life but some leave a lasting impression. Jason was one of them. Sadly he was like all of us, flawed in our humanness.
It wasn’t always easy being Jason Shane Green.
“In the cycle of life people we care most about are taken from us too soon. We struggle to come to terms with the why of it and there is no answer. It is only by the way we conduct our living that we salute the legacy they leave behind”
My prayers are with his family during this difficult time. To his wife, I pray that you stay strong and look for comfort and happiness through your children. They will need you more now than ever before. Please do not lose hope. There are people praying for you and for them. Others have been through this very situation; you are not alone. I hope that my prayer finds you all and that you are given peace and calm.
My heart goes out to Jason’s wife, children, parents and brother.
Jason was a man constantly warring with himself. But that war was always to be a better person today than he was yesterday. Like us all, he failed. Like us all, he succeeded. But in his quest, he touched many lives for the better and I was one of them. He loved many things in his life; books, movies, science, learning, but above them all he loved his wife and children and strived to be better, not only for himself, but for them.
I had the privilege to meet Jason and his brother early in life and the luck to fall back into contact with them later. I was so glad I got to know him again as an adult. The world is a little less bright for me, at Jason’s passing, but I’ll leave with two thoughts from his favorite author.
“Do not cast all hope away. Tomorrow is unkown. Rede oft is found at the rising of the Sun.”
“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”
