Teaching in Hawai’i is how I met Mads. Early on I knew she was a special force. She also helped me through some of my darkest days when my dad passed. She shared so much kindness, community, deep wit and humor. Sending love to her family and friends.

I am so so very sad to hear this news about.  I will always remember playing on the beach in St Thomas and racing to eat our popsicles before they melted.  Such a sweet soul.  I am thinking of you both, Jake & Molly. Sending my love ❤️

Picture it: Blue Hill Ave, 2005. We're standing in the kitchen and I'm eating grapes and cheese slices out of the fridge; Ryan is tippy-tapping his way over for pats while LuLu judges silently from her bed. We're toggling between 6 different hypothetical and escalating arguments. None of them matter, but they are all so important because we are free in this space with each other. This is what we do. This is what we will continue to do 15 years in the future. (Who else now will know, I'm not really mad?) We keep shouting and gesturing and laughing and shouting and head up the stairs to the big pink room where we shift into song and poor attempts to empty the closet. We're definitely nailing the high notes in "Hide & Seek". The in-betweens are info dumps and movie quotes and venting and made up songs. It's getting dark and it's been one million hours since we got out of the pool, but we need to watch something funny. You gather the snacks and cozy blankies and let me use my favorite shower and we reconvene on the TV couch. You know I never want to cuddle so you tell me how annoying it is that I never want to cuddle. We talk over 87% of the show. We're doing the same thing tomorrow.  And that song is for sure about vampires.

Part of what makes human life so good is loving things that can be taken away from us. You can live a smaller, more solitary life that has less pain in it.

But there isn’t a way to fully love someone and care about them while shielding your self from the pain of their loss.

Grief is the price of love

I still have a clear visual memory of when I first met mads. We connected immediately and began working/dreaming/scheming/planning/learning/andmore together since. mads was real, loving, and an inspiration. she used to leave me notes here and there - notes i always treasured. i thought we had all the time, and then now, we do not. her brilliance, and sparkly eyes are dearly missed. mads u are in my heart <3

Yours was a heart that loved beyond your pain. You emptied your soul to fill the void in our hearts. You loved selflessly  and cared unceasingly. Your name is written in our hearts and the sweet memories we shared will forever remain with us until we see you again. I LOVE YOU MADS
