Dear mom and dad,
I want to thank you for all of the sacrifices you made, as well as your unconditional love. You always encouraged me to make my artwork, and to have a joyful, fulfilling life. Mom, I will never forget our visits. You always made sure that we did things that we fun, and exciting. I'll never forget when we went to that wild bird store. I know going in there was perhaps not your cup of tea, yet you did, because you knew my deep love of animals. We had quite a laugh at the geese running around the store! We also went to the Highline, walking and enjoying the sights, as well as visiting the Cathedral of St John the Divine, in search of the Peacocks that were there. And, then there were fun trips to Zaabars, picking out delicious lox, bagels, whitefish, and the cheeses you loved. Of course, we had to have Sal and Carmine's pizza too! A neighborhood classic! Everywhere we went, everyone knew you. You were such a die hard New Yorker! You are missed by so many people, and the Upper West Side will never be the same. I miss you everyday mom. I love you eternally.
Dear Dad,
It's been a little over a year since you passed. I wear your yankees hat and shirt very often, remembering us going to see the Yanks play. You always made sure that my brother and I were happy. We would go to your apartment, and you loved making us dinner, and, when you got a cappuccino maker, you would always enjoy making us a cup. You taught me to be strong. You encouraged me to continue my education. I recall how you went to my high-school track competitions. Even when people started leaving the stands, I would look put and see you cheering me on. I wasn't the fastest runner, but you were so proud of me. I'll never forget how you would hand up my paintings, and how you always encouraged me to do my artwork. You never got angry. You were such a calm dad. And a loving dad, who called me Pooh Bear my entire life. You would take me ice skating as a child. I remember that you would also go ice skating. One time you fell, and I was so sad, but you got right up, and didn't complain. You took things as they came, even cancer. You didn't complain or search for sympathy, you continued on with your life, without complaining. I miss you so much dad. I miss hearing Pooh Bear. You will always, eternally, be in my memory. Mom and dad, I love you eternally. And someday, we will meet again.
