The Anniversary
Friday, Mar. 19, 2004 at 8:13 P.M.
And so it was, eleven years ago tonight, only a few hours after Friday, March 19 turned into Saturday, March 20, that life changed for some of us. It is always a hard anniversary for me, but this year I have been thinking more about the others involved.
Obviously, the one most affected was Steven, who after that night appears to exist no more. Was it foul play? Was he so unhappy that it was by his own hand? Was he scared? Did he know what was happening? Did have plans for his future? Had he lost all hope? Did he know that was his last night? Was that indeed his last night?
Next is his family. How do parents explain to three young siblings that they don�t know if they will see their brother again? How do you reassure them that everything will be ok when your own worst fears are being realized? How do you move forward, carrying that with you to every important family event, knowing that not only is someone missing, but having no idea how or why?
Rachel, how do you deal with having the person you�ve been dating suddenly exist no more? How do you not feel guilt about moving on, creating a life with someone else? I�m glad she has been able to do that, to create a life with someone good for her. She will never find peace I�m sure, but she has found comfort.
Those of us that were near or far at the time have all had to �deal� with this in our own ways. It seems strange that we have all gone on with life, moved forward, accomplished things, but none of us have ever had any answers.
