He is getting ready for our trip to Wisconsin. Dad, Barry, Logan, and Tara are leaving on Tuesday along with Samantha and Charlie.

I am leaving on Thursday with Nat. Every year the Lapps, etc. get together in a reunion normally held at Crystal Lake near Lodi, WI. I have been told next year it will be somewhere else. Last year, Barry and Nat went.

After I left Dad's house I met Todd at his place and said hi to Jordan and the rest of the group there. Barry and Logan were there fixing one of the ATV's.

I then went to Samantha's and Charlie's and hung out with them for a while. I got back right in time to pick up Devin from work, Randy Cooley, a roommate of ours was also ready to make sure Devin was picked up.

Towards the night Samantha stopped in at Missy's parents house where Missy was. They followed each other back here to the house. Samantha and I recorded "One Thing" written by her father at least 17 years ago.

This is a difficult time for everyone.

July 23rd, 2007- At 12:30am Samantha was leaving our house to go home. This marks the one year anniversary that Scott had left us for hopefully what is "greener pastures". I miss my brother horribly.

On her way home, Samantha came across "Turn The Page" as well as "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. These songs were extremely synonymous with Scott, especially "Turn The Page" which we have him singing and playing on video.

 I can't believe it has been a year; a year I haven't seen my brother Scott, a year his children had to spend without him; an 18 year old girl trying to find her place, a mother that has to struggle without the assistance of her father, one boy that never got much of a chance to know his father,

one boy that knew his father enough to know what he was missing, one daughter who was about to find out her father's family structure and a man who never had the chance to greet his dad; also an entire family struggling to concept why life can be cruel, unforgiving and without redemption.

I was remembering the time Scott was here at the house; this was sometime between June 05 and June of 06. We had this chair that had one broken leg which caused it to tilt and was very unstable.

 We warned Scott of this chair, he laughed and shrugged it off and ignoring are plea, he sat down. Within seconds the chair flipped backwards and Scott fell in the corner trapped between it and the wall.

 I helped him out only for him to have the same thing happen moments later. We all got a kick out of this including Scott who normally had more grace and more sense for that matter. Scott spent a lot of time here with Missy and I, I think we were his home away from home. I consider my relationship with him a very special bond that even brothers seldom share.

 Being 20 years apart he fit as someone I looked up to, and at the same time he treated me like his closest friend. Him and Missy were also very close as well.

Missy has had a hard time with this because she had felt like she couldn't grieve the way the rest of us did, she was trying to hold her pain respecting our loses.

Though I know they both were very close; the closest thing he had to a sister. We spent more time with Scott than I ever had with a friend. By the end of his life he had so much to offer to everyone, it is ironic that he was taken when he was.

I am pleased to know, which I just got wind of yesterday; Samantha and Leigh received a letter from the man who was donated a kidney from Scott.

Jamieson Journal 36

This man is from Texas, he works in the school system and has 2 children of his own. He spoke of his rehabilitation and how he is grateful of life that Scott assisted him with.

Officially, Scott lost his life and saved another. He would be proud of himself, this is what Scott was all about, and I consider this his last magic trick. I love my brother Scott and I will always keep him in my mind.
