Lit by Kathy Ratajczak 13th December 2015
I drove through Queens today and thought of you my dear friend. Crazy traffic on the Grand Central, reminded me of our trips to and from my house, to your apartment, and la Guardia. I white knuckled the ride with Andrew but remembered that I was never afraid with you. Your little white Renault Alliance sped through traffic with ease. :) Your birthday is coming up and your are on my mind more than ever. I think about going to Maple Grove, but I fear I will melt into a puddle of tears. Saying I miss you doesn't begin the describe the pain. Its so unfair that you aren't here making christmas ornaments with me. We aren't baking, shopping, or watching horror flicks. I want to talk to you about little Andrew, and Jacquelyn. I want to hear your laugh again and see your smile. They say that its supposed to get easier.. they lied. Its a bit early, but I am lighting this candle to wish you a Happy Birthday. I love you and miss you!
This candle went out on 13th January 2016.
