Chaz...
There is so much I want to say...
Just like everyone here, I am still in shock about Green.
And just like everyone here, my heart and thoughts are with you.
Chaz, I want you to remember that you are loved and wanted and needed here. And you are loved and wanted and needed by your family and your friends and you are loved and wanted and needed by Greens family and his friends.
Life is so unfair at times. There is nothing more to say about it than it is unfair. If it was fair, you and Green would have gotten married and had a tribe of kids and grown old together...and as Michael said, holding hands when you are 90 and rocking on the front porch of the nursing home.
Even though Green is gone, the love you have for him will always be there. And that's a good thing. You may not believe it right now, but there are gonna be days where you will be able to go on and live your life knowing that Green is there, in your heart...and then, there are days where you wont even be able to get out of bed in the morning, because all you have of Green is in your heart.
Chaz, anyone could see the love that you had for Green. And it was a love that is rare. Very few people ever get close to the love that you and Green had. You loved him unreservedly and unconditionally and he was more than blessed to have had you in his life. He knew that the way that you felt about him was rare and special and believe me, he treasured it...And he treasured you too. Green, may not have always been able to show you that he loved you unreservedly and unconditionally but he did. You made his life worthwhile and he knew it...everyone who had any contact with Green, knew how much you meant to him.
I know life at the moment varies between swimming through cement and spinning out of control. And all you can do is put one foot in front of the other and try to keep yourself in one piece.
The next few weeks and months are gonna be difficult for you (and God...difficult is the understatement of the century) but the most important thing you need to do, is to keep talking and reaching out. And reaching out may be the last thing you want to do...but you need to talk about how you feel. There are heaps of people who are more than willing to listen to you. If you want to talk...please feel free to talk, even if you think you are repeating yourself infinitum. If you need to scream...then scream. If you need to swear...then swear. If you need to cry...then cry. If you need to be silent....then be silent, but don't do it alone... Find someone to talk to, someone who will listen, someone who will offer their shoulder when you need one, and someone who will be quiet with you when you want to be quiet.
And remember all those good times you had with Green...they will keep you warm over the cold months ahead.
