In the journal entries that Larry reads in this episode, his great loss and sadness is evident along with immense love and the hope that he and his family can keep moving forward with Alex forever in their hearts and soul. He reaches out to Alex to help them do just that. Larry reflects the challenge of celebrating his milestone birthday with a huge hole in life and then, just a few weeks later, Arleen’s “first since…” birthday. The pain, the honesty, the recognition that he and his family have a new reality, the need to move forward, and the joy of having so many great memories of Alex resonate throughout the episode.
Larry wishes to thank his family, his friends, Toronto Mike, his various counselors and grief groups, his beautiful Granddaughter for being his inspiration, and Rita and Arleen for being there and being strong.
The music heard throughout this podcast series comes from the music video “Salute ft J Relentless, LA (Alex), Peace Omega. Thank you to everyone involved in the making of the video and for dedicating it to my son. His music, his words, his essence lives on.
