Josh'...This saddens, but does not surprise me. Josh's affect after the whole Louisville tragedy was too flat. Things do fall apart when the center cannot hold, and Josh is New Haven's center. I'm glad Will recognizes the debt owed to Josh by many, many survivors.<br /><br />Survival of decent human beings is what matters, even if it means that decent human beings have to do what they would never have done before the fall. And Josh is decent. In his decency he took on his shoulders burdens that others were glad to not take, and now he's broken. <br /><br />But broken things -as you all in New Haven know- can be fixed, patched, shored up, repaired. And what results may not be as pretty, but it will hold, it will serve. <br /><br />Josh, give yourself a break, forgive yourself, let yourself heal, love yourself, because we all do.DeeWNYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3332119306511101304.post-72039410962253002802012-08-17T08:17:52.340-04:002012-08-17T08:17:52.340-04:00I know it won't make a difference, and I feel ...I know it won't make a difference, and I feel terribly for possibly have made it worse, but please, let Josh know I still love him and care for him. He's still family. All of you all are, even though I'm hundred of miles apart. I'm sorry for what I said before. I won't say I didn't mean it, but I am sorry that I said it. I should've realized how much it hurt him to make that decision and I can't help to feel I made it worse. Please let him know that I don't hate him or anything and that he shouldn't hate himself. We all owe him so much. I'm going to come home as soon as I can. Ookamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185422506935261381noreply@blogger.com
