Thank you, Jacqueline, for this post. It is another role reversal - and a very tragic one. It is the worst of my nightmares needing to see close relatives, significantly younger than me, pass away. And they would have so much more to explore and experience. Our memories remain, and it is important to remember living each day of life the best way we can - together with our loved ones.
Hi, Jackie. I had no idea what I was going to read when I saw that you had posted another Role Reversal essay. It was a beautiful piece. I feel like I know A. even though I've never met him! Your writing brought him to life. And I will always look at the color purple in a new way now.
Many thanks for sharing a tribute to such a fine young man. May A.'s spirit carry on into the world.

Jackie and Carolyn, Once again, your love and support have been so important to me, Aidan, and my entire family. Thank you for your tribute to Aidan.

Jackie, this is an incredibly moving tribute to A. I keep Rose and her family in my prayers all the time.
Thank you for letting all of us get to know A. a bit more.
