DAVID SELBY

"Please leave a message at the sound of the tone." Once again I listen to your voice, saved now seven years ago from the answering machine's recorder, and my message is always the same - how much I love you, how much I miss you, how much I wish we could be together as once we were.

"And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." Khalil Gibran

If you had been able to live, Dave, today would be our 58th wedding anniversary. I miss you more than I know how to say. My love for you has not changed and the longing to have you with me has only intensified with time. as always, Elaine

Dave - How I wish there were a way for you to know. On June 2, 2021, the David Selby Dialysis Parity Act was enacted into law under Article II, Section 17(c) of the Maryland Constitution. It follows three years of work to ensure, through regulatory oversight, a high standard of care for inpatient peritoneal dialysis in the State of Maryland. Undertaken with so much love, it is my legacy gift to you. as always, Elaine

*It is time to focus not on what has been lost but on what has been given*

Dave - How precious a gift I was given when you came into my life, now more than 56 years ago. Being loved by you and loving you in return has meant everything to me and I revisit the memories of our life together over and over again.

always my love
Elaine

Dave, I love you so much. I always have. I always will.
