This moment, 4 years ago to the minute. I begged you to stay with us. You were on your way to the other side. I could never imagine this pain. I could never imagine it. I love you so much.
Nobody ever loved me like you did. Nobody. Our daughter is so amazing. Thoughtful. Artistic. A genius. Why can't you be here to see this? Why aren't you here?
Around this time, exactly 9 years ago, you decided to cut the grass. You thought after everything else we had tried, pushing a lawnmower on a hot Texas evening might induce labor. This was normally my job, but you were adamant. So I took the dog for a walk. I caught quite a bit of good natured ridicule from a neighbor who laughed at me for letting my wife exert herself "in that condition." But it worked. Our little Lena bird was here the next morning. We miss you!
Happy Anniversary, sweet, sexy beautiful mamma. 😍 I can remember the day we met. The first sight. The first words. It seems like yesterday, and like some other life in some other world. We love you and miss you.
Dear Karen....first an inspiring student in my class and quickly a dear friend. We shared so many talks about creativity. Then dear Lena came. You took me in as a relative. We shared time. Too soon you left us. Jeremy....you are surrounded by love.
