POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

After a sudden and traumatic loss the nervous system doesn’t register that someone who is supposed to be here, is gone. You scan every room they were in, looking for signs they’re still there. Every life event, milestone, and random Tuesday you expect to see or hear from them, the shock never really fades. Spaces and conversations they should be apart of. Just gone.

Our wedding sat at the intersection of Joy & Grief. Having to find ways to elevate, honor, and acknowledge Jacob in a way that I hoped would make my him proud. Our kippahs were made in his memory, for the little boy who loved his kippah so much he often slept in it, with a marigold embroidered in reference to the guitar he built and loved. White poppies in my bouquet, with Jacob’s picture and guitar pick attached lovingly by @lc__co so I could hold him close. His Tallis draped our chuppah, wrapping us in his blessing.

You were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Every picture you should be in. Getting your sons dressed and ready, their uncle stepping in in your place. On the dance floor, and during the processional where your name read “in memory of…” instead of walking with your family. I never imagined losing you and I never imagined missing you on my wedding day, and every day to come.
And still, I know you were with me🪶

Living abroad has made it harder to keep up with friends and family. Birthdays become FaceTimes, random hangouts become carefully planned trips, and spontaneous WhatsApp conversations have to fill the gaps.

But it also does something else.
It made moments together matter more.

This was my longest trip back to New York since I left for LA in 2016 (my COVID escape to NY doesn’t count). I got to enjoy my friend's and my nephew's weddings, 3 more shows for friends and family and countless slices of pizza. I spent time with friends, siblings, nieces, nephews, and my parents. Every dinner, every conversation, even the simple moments felt a little more meaningful.

I’m especially grateful to everyone who took time out of their days, nights, weekends just to hang, it was great to see you all.

And a special shout-out to Charlie's Angels (her WhatsApp dogsitter club) 🫶🏻

Overwhelmed with gratitude for the friends, family, and neighbors who showed up today for our trail cleanup in honor of Jacob. Somewhere between 40-50 people joined us throughout the morning and committed their time and energy towards this project. I’m truly in awe of the effort and care that was shown to our beautiful desert 🤍 All because of you, Jakey 🪶
