You’ve been in my mind every waking hour since that moment. These days, my memory of you makes me smile much more than it makes my cry.. but today.. it’s about even.  I hope that you can feel how strongly people still hold you in their hearts … they always will.   think of how you lived with such fun, love and strength. You’ve helped me and so many others take more of that into our own lives.

I like thinking about how much fun you were having this last day. You’d spent the day on the beach with Parker and Eric skim boarding. You left me this phone message late that afternoon to tell me about it.. I could hear how much fun you were having.
