In the past Mom would share my FB photos with you, but I decided that this time I would share them myself. I walked across campus this afternoon on this absolutely gorgeous day as I had to go over to meet with a student of mine. (That's another story, but I won't write that here).
But it was an absolutely beautiful day, perfect temperature and gentle breeze. Thanks for walking it with me.
Love you,
Dad
And it was too beautiful an evening to sit inside and grade reports (even though grades are due tomorrow). So Simon and I explored a new park in town. The ground was covered with purple violets, yellow and white flowers. The mayflowers haven't started to bloom and the trillium is just starting.
And then we came across a pond, with two ducks paddling across. I tried to take their picture, but they disappeared into the reeds. They reminded me of sitting next to you in August 2016 as you started chemo again - of your strength, your dedication, and your motivation to be there for us. And I know that you will always be there, in that other room, where we cannot see you, but yet we feel your presence and we know you are with us. Day in and day out. And we know we are loved.
