This Club, It Didn't Need Another Member

But, it got one. Fuck. It got one yesterday.

My heart dropped when I read Jason’s tweet.

I felt my fingers on the keyboard again.

Typing those letters that would let my friends know…

“He’s Gone.”

I saw the wave of love on Twitter and Tumblr start for Jason like it did for me, and I hoped that it was providing him with some of the comfort it provided me to know that thousands of people from all over the world were thinking about me and my family and sending us more love than you can imagine.

I hope he feels that. He needs to feel that.

He also needs another kind of support. If you’re able, if you can give up your latte or beer for today, or maybe more, please help Jason so he can do the most important thing he needs to be doing right now—let him grieve the loss of his wife.

You all donated so generously to my family. I’m paying it forward now. I hope you’ll join me.

I am so sorry for him. I just can't imagine being a member of your club. It scares the ever living daylights out of me to even consider it. My husband's best friend died a couple of years ago when he was working out of the country. It was devastating and I am forever amazed by his wife's resiliency. Much like yours she just had to pick up and keep going. My husband worked the same job as him and I was just a panicky mess knowing what could happen. You are just amazing.
