Lovingly remembering Garpy (Dec. 29, 1982-Aug. 10, 1991), who left this world 22 years ago today

My baby,
You were the best when the worst came.
You gave light when there was darkness all around.
You made me believe there was a reason to live.
I don't know why you had to leave too soon. That night you died, I knew somehow you would be leaving me. And so I cried. When morning came and I got the word, I cried even more.
My beautiful, beautiful Garpy. What a painful day that was.
My baby, my Garpy. I will love you always.
"Farewell, dear darling of my soul. A parting blessing on my love. We shall meet again, where the weary are at rest." (Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities)
