Remembering Aaron always helps me remember that: one, I want to live and two, I want to shift the forces that abuse people like him and me. No wait, all people. No wait, all beings. But the point is he reminds me in particular how important it is to me to do right by myself - including asking for help. And he reminds me how many unknown/unexpected allies I have in this, in wanting to do right by ourselves and each other and everything else. Thanks Aaron, we'll try not to let you down!
