I heard the news on NPR while driving to see Kay. My eyes welled up with tears and I thought of you.
I remembered that for more than 40 years you loved your friend faithfully and that the family who never met him did not approve.
I remembered how you spent more and more time with him as the cancer appeared and gradually devoured him. I remember your tremendous sadness when he had gone. And you too succumbed to cancer in a long, painful journey into death.
You lived a life of challenges and struggle with dignity and perseverance. You were kind. You were sensitive most of all to the beauty in the world.
It is entirely possible if you still lived, you would condemn today's decision. I hope not, but I suspect you would. And yet, I support this cause because of you and the example you lived. RIP. I hope wherever you are now, the rainbow prevails and you are free to love whomever you choose.
