Today, January 9th, is especially big because it is my late husband's birthday. That said, his birthday is the one of the few days I give myself permission to celebrate him with my family and friends on Facebook. To some, he has become a distant memory. But for me, even though I very much feel his absence, he remains a real being who is so much more than a memory or myth. Just like all of us, he was certainly full of flaws and frailties--but he provided a foundation for me and Andi to build our life on--a foundation of love, ambition, optimism, faith, endurance, and love of family.
To all of you out there who have loved and lost--as I know many of you have--perhaps there's comfort for us in the thought: "If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them."
Happy birthday, R. Michael Allen! We love you!
