Little sweetheart, this was taken right after the DCfC show you took me to in Sacramento on my birthday weekend. We'd just arrived back home to Davis and you took this picture of us in the kitchen. This photo is another of my favorites of us because I can not only see but actually feel how happy I am. How happy you made me. Our friend Neal told me that after I met you I had changed so much that even my face looked different. That's how much you saved and healed me. Love you forever.
Little sweetheart, today is my birthday. My favorite birthday ever was spent with you, of course. We had a few days away from everyone and everything and retreated to the beautiful house in Davis to spend it together. You had tickets for us to see DCfC in Sacramento and on the day itself you made some ridiculously complicated and absolutely delicious chocolate cupcakes for us. Here you are providing the final touch, drizzling white chocolate sauce over each of them - and they're all HUGE, like each cakes in their own right! I think about how happy I was that day, that weekend, those years, and my heart surges with love.
On my birthday I always also remember now the words I wrote and said for you on that day three years later. A recording of it is here.
Thank you, my angel. Love you forever.
