Thinking of you today

You would have loved today. You would have dared to let yourself feel hopeful, even for a moment. You would have found much to be concerned about. You would have marveled with everyone around you that this day happened at all.

You would have loved today, my brother.

CalTech - Alex Sessions' page


"Sky was a geobiology graduate student from 2003-2007, working first in Dianne Newman's group and later splitting his time between our two groups. His research involved the production and function of methylated hopanoids by the anoxygenic phototropic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris. To our great dismay, Sky passed away on August 25 [sic], 2007. We still miss him."

Missing you

I am missing you today more than usual for some reason -- just thought I should say that. What a vacuum you left where once you were. I wish you knew how much you would be missed, how much your absence affects so many people, more than you could probably ever have imagined.
