From
Dorian's Mom to Dorian |
Because it
is this day, one year later, I think of him so intensely. I loved him for
so many reasons, not the least your love for him...a remarkable young man
with such spirit and joy...the many times we went out for brunch, dinners,
and of course, the last time I saw him when he flew in for your graduation
day---he was late, the plane didn't come in on time and the cab from
Newark airport finally brought him to us---we were all so excited to see
him and kept looking out the restaurant window---and then the cab pulled
up and out came our gorgeous Jascha--- dressed in a beautiful blue shirt
and suit looking like a movie star---he gathered his suitcase and ran into
the restaurant and then we knew we were really ready to celebrate--Jascha
was here--I wanted the food to be so delicious, not just for us, but for
him---we respected his great knowledge of food and so wanted him to enjoy
this meal. I had his graduation gift, a small traveling case that he
could use on one of his many journeys---he was so gracious and I often
reread the marvelous thank you note he sent later on----I love him very
much and he will always be in my heart----the very first time I saw him at
UM, he took my breath away -=-your freshman year and there he was, so very
bronze and looking like a young Greek god and then he SMILED...and
although I didn't know him, he touched my heart and I was so happy that he
was your dear friend----Now, here it is the anniversary of his death--and
here we are, still and always loving him forever---Only two days ago, as
you know, my first grandson was born, your nephew, and he was named
Jacob---and as you know, the Russian name for Jacob is JASCHA!! I asked
Nicolas what he would like me to call his son.---Jacob---Jake--? He
said, "whatever you want to call him is fine with me"---I think
I know what name he will be for me, my little grandson ---at least that
will be the name in my heart---There is only one JASCHA and he is part of
the best of us all. Goodnight -----Love, Mom
