Each day 16 people visit this blog. There are many of us that think about Aaron each day and at least some of us end up here on this little website devoted to his memory. Personally, I come here every few days to see if there are new comments. I frequently think about posting something, but don't.
Frankly, I feel really bad that more isn't done with this site. I could do more. I should. But honestly, I find it's better for me NOT to talk about Aaron. I do realize, however, that not everyone is like me and many do get some benefit from posting thoughts and memories. There have been only 16 posts on this page since Aaron passed but there have been well over 100 comments.
The problem with people posting thoughts and memories in the comments section is that they're buried and difficult for visitors to see and read. So, what I'd like to do is open up control over this website to those of you who come here so often. I would like to give you access to post your thoughts and memories.
If you would like to have the ability to write and post to this blog, let me know. I'll give you a username and password and instructions on how to do it. Posting doesn't require any technical expertise at all. It's pretty much as easy as posting a comment.
Once you're set up with a user/pass you can post whenever you feel like it. You can post thoughts or memories or even pictures. There's no commitment here, no pressure at all. If you decide not to post, no sweat.
I'm convinced that if more of those who love Aaron have the ability to be stewards of this website we'll have a far better tribute to him than we have now.
If you're interested please send me an email at smith.matthew@yahoo.com. I probably know many of you but there are some that I won't know so please Identify yourself and how you knew Aaron. I'll respond as quickly as I can.

The home loans are useful for guys, which would like to organize their own career. By the way, it is easy to get a secured loan.

working at the hospital today i had to watch a young blond girl be told her big brother was no longer with us. Although her parents seemed to do ok she couldn't grasp the concept that her brother would no longer hug her, console her or just make it right again...I remember that feeling so well.
I miss you today and everday Aaron.
Love,
your little sis

I've been thinking about you and Matthew a lot. He misses you so much. There are probably countless times he wishes he could share things with you, confide in you, and just hang out with you. I read something about crisis & opportunity today and instantly thought of you. I'm sorry I got in the way of your relationship with him. You are still missed.

I don't know why, but I go to this site probably way more often than I should. I guess lately I've been looking for inspiration, and it is often something I often found with Aaron. I'm not saying I would follow in his footsteps, but for good or bad, he always had drive. Even if he was dealing with a pile of shit, he always had a way to make it seem like it was the greatest pile of shit ever, and in a way, he made you want that pile of shit too. Outside of some circumstances, I think he always had a way to see value in the things he did, whether it was ideal or not. It always seemed he was going to land right side up, and it was infectious. He definitely left a void for us to fill. He was a good friend and greatly missed.
