I am Superman!

I sat down this morning to write something on the blog and wasn't sure what I'd write on this three month mark since the accident. Just as I sat down, on comes the song, "I am Superman" by R.E.M. It made me laugh out loud. Strange coincidence? Or did Ned communicate with the KFOG deejays to make sure that song got played so I would hear it and laugh out loud and make you do so too?

Ok, believe what you want. Whatever it was, it made me happy and smile thinking of my brother. This is the same "I-see-the-clown" feeling that Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, the author of The Empty Room writes about. I feel a wonderful connection to her since I read her book, wrote about it on this blog, and then she wrote to me! Check out her blog. Again, she wrote a beautiful book about sibling loss and her experience as the sister of "the boy in the plastic bubble." It is also a book about loss, period, that everyone should read.

So as we look for auditory and spectral signs of Ned in our daily lives we can feel less lonely and we can miss him a little less for at least a moment. Live on Ned "Superman" Snyder!

Here's the song that I heard this morning (the video is kind of fun to watch too).

P.S. It would be awesome to have a still shot of Ned doing the Superman pose while skydiving, not that I want to promote skydiving since it scares the heck out of me, but that was Ned. Logan, in your spare time can you get that still shot? ;) Actually the video footage set to the various Superman songs would be even better!
