the end
Ok, the official ending to my Jason saga. To answer the emails and comments and phone calls even, lol, he is real. Jason Root is his name. He’d be about 26 or 27 now. I did meet him as a teen in Hawaii. He was my first real date, the first guy I really liked and definitely loved in some way. His mother’s name was Lorraine, his sister’s Samantha. Every single thing you read in italics was true. Everything else were figments of my imagination.
When I met Jason, when I was thirteen or so, he and I immediately had a connection. We got along spectacularly and were best friends from the get go. Our friendship developed into crushes and then our blossoming interest in each other came to a crashing halt with his disappearance.
The first few years after I moved back from Hawaii, I didn’t bother to try and find him. I had heard from an old friend that he was attending high school in Kona. I begged her to give him my number or me his, but she ‘never got around to it’. After that, all trace of him was gone.
About two years ago, I hired a company called
Locaters Plus whom I paid in full and who consistently gave me information that I could have very easily gotten off of any of the web searches I had already done myself. After awhile, they stopped emailing me altogether and every time I emailed them they assured me that they were still looking. Their website says that they had suffered some setbacks [read: we took your money and had a royal time in the Bahamas] and are now back in service [read: accepting more money to fund our next vacation].
So, the long and short of it is that I haven’t ever found him. It has been over eleven years since he and I have spoken in any way. The story I told all of you is simply one of the many journeys my imagination takes me on before I go to sleep or while I am driving home. I wasn’t sure, when I started writing it, whether or not I should put it on my blog since I thought most of you would see right through it. So, I am glad that you guys seemed to enjoy it so much :) I certainly enjoyed writing it.
Thank you all for the emails and calls and comments and especially the ones wishing for me that it was true, lol. It was definitely one of the fairy tale endings I would have enjoyed having. I’m so sorry to have to admit that it was mostly fictional, lol.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
