If any of you remember this and are so inclined . . . it always means so much to me when I know that you're remembering with me, even though you didn't know him IRL. It feels sort of like you all went through it with me and today's the anniversary.

Actually, every time I have one, I think of him. Too late for me today, but tomorrow I'll make a point of getting one.

Fifi,
I'm away on spring break with my family. Every year I remember vividly the day you posted about your son because of the timing with spring break. I'll happily pay it forward again this year and may this tradition for Neal never die on NOM.
May you continue to find peace.

I think of him when I grab one, too. ((hugs))
I'll raise a mug in the morning.

Fifi - Thinking of you, and I do remember the day you posted about Neal. Sending many hugs to you, and I'll be glad to have a mocha latte in his remembrance and in his honor -- and yours. I honor your both. Take care, blessings from Wndr.

Missed this post yesterday, but I'm adding a little Stephens white chocolate to my coffee right now and raising my cup to Neal!
Cheers!

I remember your post vividly. I will be honored to enjoy a mocha latte in support. It is one of the finest traditions of NOM. May you have peace.

Honestly not sure if this is coincidence or the spirit. I drink lattes all the time. For some strange reason I felt like a mocha latte yesterday. Your post years ago got me on a kick, but generally I am not a chocolate guy. That said, yesterday it was a mocha latte for me. Apropos i guess, serendipity?
No, I am sure it was for Neal! Sending eternal love and good vibes his way!

I just saw this thread. I remember. It's too late for me to have one now, but I will have one tomorrow in his honor, even though it will be a bit late. <3
