My monthly tribute to Jean Paul Limage / RIP
Tuesday - July 14, 2026 @ 1:07am
Hi, JP
Well I went back to teaching yoga, nothing heavy in anyway. I mostly enjoyed teaching YITP aka Yoga in the Park - it’s been a blessing to reconnect with people and my usual activities.
We’ve have moved again, this time on-base - cozy house - across the street is a covered playground and a lot of grass to run and play in.
We got a dog! Her name is Alice and she’s about 7 months old and she’s the sweetest girl!
For today I’ve settled on a quote:
“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” – Dumbledore
From the film: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was written by screenwriter Steve Kloves - based on J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - published in 1999.
Remember JP we read each and every one of J.K. Rowlings books, yet the quote doesn’t exist in her book - the screenwriter penciled that one in.
Well it’s late now and I’ve actually didn’t complete your post until the wee hours of the 14th.

My son Jean Paul Limage - he passed away on 10/13/2020 by his own hand. Every month, I write something about him, it could be a conversation, his or one of my poems, poems by others, lyrics to a song or a quote. Whatever I’m feeling that particular day.
You, my reader if you are feeling in anyway off, don’t do it - look for help, reach out to someone - know that “you” are Loved and important!

Paying tribute to someone we’ve lost is a deeply personal journey, and doing so monthly allows for an ongoing healing process. When I read about Elsie’s reflections on her son Jean Paul Limage, I’m reminded how honoring a loved one’s memory can be both painful and cathartic – a way to keep their essence alive in everyday life. Personally, I’ve found that small rituals, like sharing a favorite quote or story, help maintain a connection across time. Elsie’s choice of the Dumbledore quote, “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light,” resonates strongly. It’s a powerful reminder that even in grief, hope and light remain possible. Elsie’s openness about suicide and the ongoing message to readers to seek help is invaluable. It’s important to destigmatize these conversations and provide resources like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline around the clock. If you’re struggling or feeling alone, reaching out can save lives. Incorporating daily activities such as teaching yoga in the park, reconnecting with people, or caring for a new pet like Elsie’s dog Alice, provides gentle stability amidst grief. These acts foster well-being and encourage movement toward healing. Sharing a treasured photo from Jean Paul’s Instagram from 2013 also gives a window into happier times and preserves precious memories that offer comfort. For those who have lost loved ones, documenting moments in words or images can be a vital part of tribute and remembrance. If anyone reading this is going through loss or hardship, remember: you are not alone. Making a support system, whether through friends, family, or professional help, is a brave and essential step. Cherishing memories while embracing new light and life can coexist, helping us to find peace gradually.
