August 8, 1971 ...

BJ -

Three weeks. That was all. You were there. Then you were gone.

I was right. 34 years later, and I've still never laughed so much, nor grieved so deeply in such a short amount of time. It's still the most difficult thing I've ever experienced, but I'd do it all again.

Thank you for giving yourself to me. For protecting me. For loving me.

For making me laugh.
