It’s been ten years since my brother left us suddenly. One evening I was talking to him on the phone, the next evening I got a call from my dad that he was gone. It’s been rough. But, we go forward and we each find ways to commune with him in our daily lives.
My creative kids are helping with this project to commune with Ned through art. Those of you who knew him are invited to be a part of it. You have one month:
We are looking for stories, drawings, photos, jokes, whatever you would like to submit that could fit into this book, which is really a zine, which will be published and distributed starting August 18, 2018.
You have one month to get your contribution together!
You might create something Ned-inspired. Something that would make him laugh or ponder. Or you might share a story from the life of Ned. Or send in a photo you found. Maybe you could write a letter to Ned about what he means to you in your life. Or you could craft a sci-fi scenario in which you travel to Planet Ned to pay him a visit. What key things would you share with him about life on Earth these past ten years he’s been gone?
Whatever you do, he will love it, since it will have been created through love and will help fill the hole in the hearts of the people who knew him with love. Because that is what it is all about. We hurt so much because of the love. For the love of Ned!
Send an email to wsnyder510@gmail.com if you would like to contribute and I will share with you the Google Doc. Deadline: July 18, 2018
