The end of the year is approaching, and I’m taking stock of my life. All of
Nick and Dutch’s final arrangements have been completed. I’ve started the
process of getting Nick’s novel published, and beginning to look into who can
help me do something with the stage musical. I’m selling the house, and
weighing my options when it comes to where I want to live next. I may stay in
the Kansas City area, or I may not. One thing I’m still really not sure about
is this site. Nick started it at the beginning of the year, and I have only
ever taken over when he’s been incapacitated, but should that last forever,
now that he can never come back? Do I truly have the right? Would he want me
to keep going? He was a man with an appreciation for symmetry. I think ending
on December 31 would be poetic in a way that he would like if he were here to
do it himself. A lot of people don’t get to live on like this at all. If they
die when they’re in the middle of something, it just ends. Well, maybe that’s
not entirely true. If you have a job, a coworker probably takes over your
accounts, and if you have young children, someone raises them for you...at
least that’s the hope, anyway. Still, I think it’s time to start thinking
about ending this. His story may not technically be over if his legacy moves
on, but it still feels like the right thing to do. You’ll always be able to
read and reread all 365 posts that will be up by then, as well as everything
he wrote on social media. I’m certainly not going to shut the whole thing
down. But it was never really mine. Perhaps I’ll start my own blog after this,
which chronicles the things that I do next year, and beyond. Or it will too
end in a year. I don’t have to decide anything right now, but the deadline is
coming up soon, so let me know what you think.
