I’m not sure what the above painting is called or who the artist is, but for me, it summed up a lot of emotions I’ve been experiencing. After two weeks, I thought I’d be able to come to terms with the loss of my friend, and while I can keep from crying, there is still an emptiness that I cannot deny. This will be a short post because if I wrote any more it would just be a repeat of emotions I’ve already discussed.
I was glad to see that Jordan Smith was the winner of Season 9 of The Voice.
About Joe
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.

Great choice on the painting. It has the potential to mean so many things.
Two weeks can seem like a long time, but in the scheme of things, it is relatively short. Hang in there.
