Justin sent this to me quite a few weeks ago. I wanted to be sure to get it posted because I was so touched and so impressed with his thinking and creativity. What you want to do is keep in mind Justin's thinking around losing his mom and connecting with her in such a creative and deeply spiritual way.

"We embark on a familiar voyage to a place we have never been. An adventure lies ahead with familiar players playing unfamiliar roles, for I will not be delivering you to your final destination. You travel protected within the waters of life to meet the sun upon a lone exposed ridge along the Great Divide. Supported in your raw timber blossom, the sun will aid you in your metamorphosis. Eagerly awaiting a playmate to navigate the skies with, the wind licks at your ice cocoon. The surrounding snow yearns to return you into the streams, into the lakes, into the rivers, into the vastness. I leave you atop a mountain where nature’s essential elements will begin your cyclical journey back into the Earth, leaving nothing behind, only the memory of what was."
Tom,
I am so touched by Justin's deep connection and obvious understanding of the journey. He has such a talent to convey to others what is deep within his heart. What a tribute to Sharon, but also to Justin, this remarkable man. I know you are proud of him and for him.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
