I miss you everyday

Liberty, you are always in my mind and heart. Everything I do and places I go remind me of you. Making decisions or having discussions, you are there. You are always with me forever and I love that. We will meet again in the next life. I know you are my soul mate and we have been together many times before. We will soon again. Love you, Wolf.

Peace,

Lian

I love You Wolf!

I have visited this site once before and wanted to say something but it was very difficult for me to even visit.  I have been on the road since and haven’t been on the grid so no internet use until now in Denver Colorado. Now I am visiting for the second time and I want to share a little about the experiences I have been having with Liberty. I have grown much stronger with Liberty’s help. He is still guiding me. He taught me yoga amongst many things when he was here physically.  I continued the yoga and meditation even more when he decided to leave and it helped me to cope. Liberty guided me to a yoga teacher program which I want to tell a little story about. Liberty has been with me especially when I am doing what I am suppose to do. One day during training which was very rigorous, I am in lecture and I fell asleep while laying on some pillows on my stomach learning about Patanjali and the Yoga Sutras. I dozed off for just a couple of minutes when all of a sudden someone pinches me on my butt! I jump and wake up and look around and everyone in there was quietly listening to the teacher and didn’t notice me jump. I knew it was Liberty trying to wake me so that I would listen to the lecture. He is so funny he does little things like this still to let me know he is still with me.  A few weeks after that happen I was walking to a bookstore towards the glass door entrance and I saw my reflection walking with Liberty right beside me.  He was wearing his notorious blue DVS wind breaker and his locks were long and flowing just as I remembered.  We would frequent bookstores together almost everyday to study back in the day.  He shows himself to me sometimes in dreams. And sometimes I feel his presence like he is physically lying next to me when I practice Reiki on myself. It is astonishing to me that he is with me so strongly.  It seems he wont leave us until he is ready because he loves us all so much so he makes sure we are on the right track. I learned that this is what spirits do sometimes especially when they still have loved ones on Earth’s 3rd dimension. I love you all and thanks for listening, I will be coming to LA in a week and I will be visiting Liberty’s family. I will be more connected now that I have a computer. Hugs and Love. Love you Libera, Lian…

My Heart Skipped a Beat…

I teach Sociology at Cal State Long Beach.  I have a picture of Liberty in my office, and on my computer which I look at before each class.  Typically before I start my class I spend a few minutes setting up my computer which projects my lecture notes on a large screen to the class.  The background of my computer has a picture of Liberty standing next to me, at Black’s Beach, San Diego.  The day we took those pictures was such a great day.  We spent the day looking over the cliffs down to the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.  We were laughing, joking, talking about graduate school.  We ate at one of Liberty’s vegetarian restaurants, and spent the evening relaxing in the hot tub; just hanging out. 

The other day as I was setting up for class a student stands up and with a huge smile and points to the picture of me and Liberty exclaimed: “Hey Professor, I saw your friend walking around campus today!”  I froze.  My heart skipped a beat.  For a brief moment, I believed him.  Or maybe I just really wanted to believe him.  In that moment I thought maybe that Liberty really was walking around campus.  For that second, I forgot what had happened to Liberty.  I thought that maybe this was all just some sort of bad dream.  A few more moments passed, and then it hit me, all over again, as I was just about to start my lecture.  It was then I realized that my student had mistaken Liberty for his brother Amit, who incidentally is a CSULB grad student.  I didn’t know what to say.   Fifty students were just staring at me, waiting for me to answer.   I couldn’t speak… 

I miss you Liberty, everyday.

I hope you do not mind, but I want to share my most recent painting just to add some color to this page..<3  I visit this site sometimes and still feel your pain..:( I still have a print of Liberty’s painting up in my classroom (high school art class) and I talk to the students about how we must create positive change in times of tragedy.  This is how we must go on.  I hope this gives somebody out there a smile..:)

Sentencing for Aguirre

Dear Friends of Liberty,

Today was the sentencing for Erik Aguirre.  A guilty plea was entered by Aguirre for the following charges: second degree vehicular manslaughter (6 years) and fleeing the scene of a felony (5 years), for a total of 11 years, the maximum time for these charges.  Aguirre will serve his time at a major state prison, which will be determined next month.  Aguirre will also now have a “strike” on his record.  

I think Liberty would be the first to say that the above numbers are in a sense, meaningless; that a human life cannot be measured in “time served”.  However, with the things that a life can be measured in, Liberty certainly excelled at these things.

Yours, jake

Court Update

Dear Friends of Liberty,

On Tuesday September 9th, at the Norwalk Courthouse at 8:30 am (6th Floor, Dept. S), all of you are invited to attend court with Liberty’s family.  There will be an opportunity to address the court where you can voice your love for Liberty, or other feelings about what happened if you choose to do so.  A plea bargain will also likely be entered during this day, and the defendant, Erik Aguirre, will then receive his sentence by the judge.  Once this is official, we will post another update. 

Norwalk Superior Courthouse (6th Floor, Dept. S)

12720 Norwalk Blvd., Norwalk, CA 90650

Court phone #: 562-807-7249

No words can describe or sum up the impact of the past 14 months or so, and they have indeed been very difficult for all of us, but Liberty’s amazing essence is still with us all.  I, like most of you, think about Liberty everyday and am constantly reminded of what an amazing and influential life he lived.  If you can’t make it out to the court, maybe you can take some time out of your day to take a walk and reflect on your wonderful Liberty memories. 

Much love & respect to all who have supported the Jaswal family and Liberty’s legacy.

Lib’s tree

The other morning, I was having a bad day and was feeling particularly low.  So I decided to go for a walk on campus at UCSD.  As I set out, I decided to go for a walk past Liberty’s tree that had been planted in his honor in Thurgood Marshall college.  When I got there, I saw the new growth of some little green pine cones on the tree.  It was beautiful; it reminded me that each day is a new day and there is always opportunity for new growth.  It put me in a much better mood and made me think of Liberty and his positivity.

I took a picture of the tree, it was taken with my mobile phone so it’s not great quality, but you can see the pine cones.

Liberty

Linnea and I and some other friends from UCSD went down to blacks beach yesterday to remember Liberty.  It was a beautiful day and it was very nice to sit there for a few hours and watch the waves, the sunset and to remember Liberty.  At one point we saw in the sky that the clouds had shaped into an “L”.  To me it was significant so I took a picture.  I just thought I’d share.
