Messages from Ned















Everyday those of us who still can't believe that Ned is gone look for signs of him. They show up everywhere - on the radio, in our mocha drinks, in our dreams. Last night I had a dream where Ned had left multiple messages to my parents on the old school multi-purpose fax/answering machine in my dad's office. They were so happy to hear his voice, which sounded calm, peaceful, even joyful, but they were frustrated as hell that they couldn't call him back!

The message I try to receive from Ned everyday is one of living life to the fullest. That's what everyone knows he was about. He was about connecting with his friends, being there for his family and laughing at all of life's crazy moments.
