Seven years ago today...


Seven years ago today SciCom sent you 30 yellow roses (I bet if they knew pink was your favorite rose they would have sent it instead) to celebrate your 30th Anniversary at the company; no matter that you hadn't been able to work since May.

Seven years ago today Mantha, Jim, Bruce Gram and I had birthday cake in your room. We opened gifts - including a Pooh Bear blanket that she still sleeps with - celebrating Mantha's 4th birthday. You slept through the whole party, we tried to wake you, but you were too tired.

Seven years ago today you reached two milestones you promised yourself you would. Your "to do" list was as short as your time left with us.

The last item you never knew came true 1 year and 9 days later. He was due to come on your D day, but he waited until the time was right.

Seven years ago today we knew your time was short. So we savored every moment like it was your last.
