Today I am not feeling articulate, but still want to leave that "pebble on your gravestone". (I gave myself the OK to miss posting at the 1:04 pm moment of your birth.)
Three years ago I said
"Pete, the pain of losing you can hit hard at any time of any day of every week. But there is joy in so much else about you, other than your death.
As a caring, loving husband and father, brother, son and friend, you were enormously rich and left the rest of us richer for knowing you.
As I remember fondly and clearly the day you were born 31 years ago, I give thanks that you were with us for awhile."
So now it is 34 years. I miss you and always will, but your gifts to us still come.
