RIP Blaine Bradford


Here is my favorite Blaine moment.  The moment that I hold now in my heart as comfort.  
He will be missed.
I pray for those he left behind.  Their sadness and confusion must be great black gaping maws in their hearts if mine is any to judge by.  
It's as if the pain he held deep just split into splintered shards at the moment of his passing and then dug deep into all the hearts of those who cared for him.  Those who would do anything for him- but can't now.  I just want to hold him and tell him everything will be alright- just ride it through.  But I can't.  I want to hold them and tell them, this sucks!  And believe it or not, everything will be alright.  Well, in time.  A new kind of alright.  An alright where we hold on tighter at the end of hugs.  We look people in the eye and mean every word of "I love you".  And a time when we let people touch us more deeply because living with an open heart is truly living.
