Happy 74th Birthday to my only Sweetheart and once in a lifetime love! I miss you. Another year passes. I continue to put one foot forward then the other. I am trying to continue the values and aspirations we shared for 45 years. We aspire to live joyously, do no harm, help others, be kind, and love unceasingly. These shared values and aspirations live long after Death, transferring life from one to the other and thereby binding us together forever. We have in turn imprinted them onto our children and from our children they are imprinted onto their children and each generation thereafter will also do so. This is how we outlive Death. We are so grateful to you. You have shared with us your enormous love, brilliance, wisdom, kindness, and joy – you still do. It is our high honor to ensure the continuation of your values and aspirations. We know joy, peace, happiness, calmness, safety, adventure, and laughter because of you. When I close my eyes, I see you so clearly. You are beautiful – the perfect shade of chocolate with love sprinkles. We also know the pain of loss and longing. We have now experienced seven December birthdays of grief alongside memories of blissful joy. There have been 20 October birthdays without our beloved Mary Elizabeth. We know she joins you in Rio de Janeiro for Carnival in February and you join Mary Elizabeth at Paris Fashion Week in September. You two must have so much fun each year. We are so blessed that our Mary Emma will complete her second year in a week or two and she is imprinted thoroughly with our shared values. Our joy warms us on this cloudy, humid day. You are our Papa Bear, Hero, and Warrior. You have not abandoned us. We will never abandon you.

With love you to Pluto and back plus infinity, your wife Townsend, son Christopher, daughter-in-law Kemah, granddaughter Mary Emma, and sister-in-law Antoine
