It still hasn't really hit me yet, I can't bring myself to delete him from my friends list still hoping that he'll sign on and we'll have another conversation that made my dismal days something to look forward to rather than just another day to dread and pass through as quickly as possible so I could go back to being unconscious. A lot of people don't know but Aaron was a veteran of the first Gulf War and was suffering from Gulf War Syndrome as well as Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. You just can't put a man like Aaron in a situation like that and not expect it to scar him for life. He was so deeply wounded and such a caring human being. I'll mss my friend so much. Thank you, Ampersand for acknowledging his touch, his legacy, the goodness that Aaron spread so far and wide. May we all follow in his footsteps when we can: he gave us such high standards for which to strive. Love, Hanna I miss him so much.
