With her Grahams, two weeks before Ollie was born. Everyone in this photo loved her dearly and misses her deeply.

2020, Gilbert, AZ, USA
This morning, my coffee came with a small sticker that said, “Think it. Want it. Get it.”, and I had to cry. It immediately reminded me of Haruno and one of her favorite lines, “GET IT!” She would say it all the time, often flexing, or doing a silly little dance, and making hilarious faces like the one in this photo (I love this photo). Just as with her positive affirmations that I’ve shared in the past, I’m always reflecting on how inspiring she was and trying my best to let that motivate and drive me. I know she’d want that for all of us. Let’s all hear her voice encouraging us whenever we need it (and her perfect laugh, too). I miss her every single day.

Thumbs-up with her Ollie-Man ❤️ I’m grateful that Haruno had an abundance of quality time at home with us during and post pandemic. We miss her every day.

During a trip to Sea World, Sophie was mesmerized by this small pool of little cleaner fish that attach and nibble at your hands. She exclaimed with glee, “mommy, daddy, the fish are kissing me!!” and refused to leave. Haruno and I always thought it was the cutest thing ever and reflected on her pure joy as such a happy memory

2021, Gilbert, AZ, USA
Happy 40th Birthday, Haruno. The kids and I started your special day eating your favorite cereal, Mini Spooners, and I think you’d be happy to know I’m rocking the German Shepherd hat your sister gave me and some awesome Back to the Future socks. I stopped by AJ’s this morning to pick up your favorite fruit tart, which we’ll enjoy tonight, and also found a hilarious dog-themed birthday card that immediately made me hear that wonderful laugh of yours in my head (as I so often do) that I miss so much. Tonight we’re going to Vincitorio's (I miss going there with you), and then later we’ll be assembling a special gift the kids helped me pick out. You are missed every single day by so many. Your family, your friends, your clients and patients, your community, and of course, your pooches. You are and always will be so loved, so admired, and so treasured. I also have to inform you that… you’re now halfway to 80. (I warned you I’d never stop making this joke every year). I love you. Happy Birthday, Hunnus. --- If you’d like to purchase a gift for Haruno’s birthday, may I suggest a donation to this local German Shepherd rescue (here: https://www.savingpawsrescuea… , selected with the assistance of Dr. Oliver) and/or the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (here: https://www.bcrf.org/ ) I’d also like to invite you to post here on this memorial site (which you can also easily revisit via www.harunosengokugraham.com ), any of your own pictures, stories, and memories. (It can be done anytime, not just on days like today). It’s so important to me to keep revisiting special memories of her, so I’m always grateful for any help with that. I hope everyone can think of her today and smile. She loves you all.

When we moved to Oregon, we arrived a day before we were to receive the keys to our rental home. (My parents also joined us on the adventure before flying back to AZ). Naturally, we all snuck into the backyard of the property and took a peek inside. Haruno was giddy with anticipation to get into our new house and start our new life in the Pacific Northwest.

Having fun at home with the kids and pooches. She'd often send me happy pictures like this while I was at work, and they'd always fill my heart and motivate me to get through hard days.
