My life partner left his earthbound incarnation at nightfall on Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023. Aware of his transition, and ready for transformation, Peter expressed resolve and contentment with five familiar words, It was all worth it!
Tuesday, March 12, 2024, while telling our granddaughter Olive about a series of Teddy bears that wore appliqued T-shirts gifted to friends’ newborns, a forgotten one turned up.
