Mr. Ilowitz

Dear Abraham-

365 days has passed since I last spoke your name here. Surprisingly, I’ve thought about you often during the last year. Today marks the 2,191st day since you left this world…I wonder how your family is doing. I wonder about your wife, I wish I could give her a hug and listen to her story.

I didn’t participate in the Project 2,996 this year…I hope you don’t mind. It’s almost as if I’ve gotten to know you and wouldn’t feel right simply moving on to the next person that was randomly assigned to me.

I hope things are going well for your family, that everyone is healthy and happy. This past year I’ve been contacted by a couple of folks that say they are related to you. I read their comments and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness…your tragedy affected so many people. I never wrote them back, I couldn’t bring myself to invade into their lives any further than I already have in my own little way here.

Here’s to another trip around the sun…

Fly Away Home

Peace brother.
