last Friday was the 1 year anniversary of Brandons passing. the months leading up to it, were especialy hard for the family. BUT, i for one, had an ephinany. after continually asking for a sign that we were tryin to do the right thing,with the Foundation and all, on the evening of his anniversary, the rubber wristband i had worn since his death, broke and came off. now, i have has this on in the snow, at work in some fo the crappiets conditions you can imagine, and it has made it. so, here's how i'm taking it.
the time for mourning is over, for me at least. dont get me wrong, doesnt amke the pain stop, or the anger, or any of the sadness go away. what it does, is make me take back control of my life. for the past year, a TV show, a book, or even the wrong(or right!) song could make me breakdown. THAT part is over.
i will be purchasing NEW wrist bands for those who want one, but with more of a rememberance theme.... might even say the exact same thing, but with anew message. none of us are in this alone, whether its Brandon, or any other loved one. we want to help..
the Foundation was on shaky ground to say the least. i have no background for this, and just jumped in feet first, and tried to keep my head outta the water. with some new help, and new faes, and the support of the family(who are now ready!) we are slowly walkin forward. i tried to sprint, but this is a marathon, not a sprint.
now the big question, who wants to go with us..? or do you know someone who needs help? contact us via the website and lets do this together...
love, Thomas "Hollywood" Pooler
