Just Breathe

Today I will be attending Jason Mueller’s wake.  A friend I meet guy during my freshman year of college.  We were a group of four.  Jason, Angel, Chris, and I.  We tried to get into parties, walked around campus, laughed ourselves silly….  Attended foam parties (ha ha…).  Always having a good time.  Jason ALWAYS had a smile on his face.  He was ALWAYS kind.  He was ALWAYS thoughtful.  He was quiet but full of life.  His picture and story was one the front page of my mom’s newspaper today.  As I took it to read I had a rush of feelings and memories.  Friendships remembered.  Times recalled.  This friend was murdered.  He was taken from his loved ones for reasons unclear.  I feel like the only thing that I can do is breathe.  He will be buried a day before his 30th birthday.  May you live today and every day to the fullest….  We will miss you Jason!
