I got to know Doug far too late, but those last few months were precious. Jenifer, I admire your strength, compassion and deep love for Doug, and I´m so sorry for this loss. He was lucky to have you by his side, reading to him, offering him kindness and caring even to your own exhaustion, until the last minutes. That is true love that we can all aspire to. Blessings and healing light to you both and all of his family.

Rest easy my brother. The world is a little less vibrant with you gone. Your spirit will always be with me and I will see you again. That I am sure of.

Love you.
