CODY BRYDGES He is in a land of neither here nor there. He has taken a little piece of all of us on this journey. As the years go by, we don't miss him less. We stand on ground that is constantly shifting but in some ways there is a stillness and sameness to everything. Some days we are paralyzed by his leaving and other days we feel a strange type of euphoria. There is peace in that. The waves don't arrive predictably in time and severity. We try to visualize beautiful memories but facing memories of one so young is an act of bravery. Cody did not have his fill of life. His tasks not complete. No adult accomplishments reached. There are so many things that can't happen anymore because he is gone. He was a collection of many things. The immensely powerful love of this gallant spirit, his talents, skills and character traits - none of that could fit into any casket. That is ours to keep. In the here and now, missing him is here to stay. We have had to adapt or perish. This is an end with no ending. Our hearts have hurt for so long and our treasure is in the snow. Forever loved Cody's Family
