On Presidents’s day, we (the Markleys and our dear friend Kristin B) had appointments at Black Diamond in Venice to get tattoos dedicated to Jax. The entire experience was new to most of us, but it was about as smooth and pleasant as you could imagine. And the results were beyond all expectation. I only wish that we had all done this with Jax, and not after. But as John Lennon used to say, life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans…

Love you, Jaxy. And today, in yet another way, we are all bonded in deep and enduring love for you.
