Love your Mary Oliver words. We held each other for almost 30 years. He will always be held in my arms, he is part of my soul, forever. This will be the most extreme challenge of my life, one day at a time. 💙

Thank you so much for your kind, caring words. Yes, very lucky. Best decision of my life to walk beside him in this life and to be loved by him. He would prefer you find joy and laughter but tears are ok too. I wish you health and happiness and love, Linda💙

We were told by everyone around us, including the “strangers” in and out of his room at MSKCC hospital in NYC, that last weekend, of the profound love they saw and felt between us. Derek was / is my home. He is extraordinary💜

But I am grateful he is now at peace and no longer suffering. I have peace that nothing was left unsaid between us.

Derek asked me to reach out and express his thanks to all the kind and caring souls who shared this space with him, those who supported him and encouraged him. You all meant so much to him. This past year has been relentless for us. He was the bravest of men…

Hey. No. Back in hospital. UTI infection that spread to my blood as an e.coli infection. Rigors and the whole thing. So angry with rehab facility for sending me home so sick.

Hey Mark. Thank you. I hope all is well with you and the pups. What an absolutely gorgeous day outside. It made me cry just getting outside as I haven’t been out in weeks. So many smells.

Mandarin Oranges and French onion soup are nope not on this tray. Pierogies with tomato sauce are a hell no and thus ends another glorious evening meal at The Rehab Facility. 🤮🤢

I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; —Joyce Kilmer #bookwormsat
