They were not simply names on a list. They were us. One of them was my dad. One a friend’s mom, one a friend’s brother. One a relative’s neighbor. The list goes on. They were all deeply loved. They left a mark on this world. There is so much that can’t be replaced. So much left unfinished that will never be. My heart brakes for all the lives taken too soon and all the goodbyes taken away from so many. . My dad started each morning reading The New York Times obituary section and learning about other people’s fascinating lives.
A nice and needed change of pace, enjoying the weather and an afternoon in Cold Spring☀️ The last time I was here was in December, doing a little Christmas shopping with my dad and sister.

I’m profoundly heartbroken to share my dad passed away unexpectedly from COVID-19 on April 10th. He was the most brilliant, devoted, generous, charismatic, thoughtful man and most loving, supportive father. I so wish we had more time together, and am grateful for the happy memories we shared. I will miss our long talks, I will miss his stories, I will miss his advice, I will miss his calming voice, I will miss his consuming laughter, I will miss his goofy side, and most of all I will miss seeing the world through his eyes. He instilled in me an appreciation
Lovely weekend spent catching up with great friends
