John Barron by Marc Abelman

The weight of this word is one of the heaviest lifts, John was a Therapist, mentor and friend.

This is Jill, John and myself at Vesta Coffee Roasters, one of our favorite things to talk about among everything else

Not many people had the impact on my life that John did, as a young person i can remember thinking what is wrong with me and working through all that to know that there is nothing “wrong” with me it was more about understanding me.

What is love?

As i go through my rough days, like today, i at times feel so much loss from not being able to talk to John. I started to tear up, i felt so loved by him even if he never said it once to me. What did he do to make me feel loved by him? by me? I truly think that being heard and understood had everything to do with it.

It is funny that i had such a strong feeling of loss and love in thinking about how i can’t process what i feel with him and who i can share it with.

Understanding myself and how to deal with feelings as a whole was critical in me living a more peaceful lifeMush, Belong
