The morning of New Year’s Eve 2010 I woke up super excited. I dreamt the night before I had won the lottery. I almost never played the lottery, so I bought $40 worth of tickets. The tickets were all duds. But New Year’s Eve 2010 was the day I first looked at online dating sites….

Heaven on Earth
I saw a little piece of heaven last week and that glimpse will burn like an ember in my heart for the rest of my life. In a year of extraordinary adventures, this has to be the most awe-inspiring and weirdest thing I’ve done. I did a life between lives regression. Essentially I was hypnotized…
Wedding Anniversary
Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year. It is Laura’s and my wedding anniversary. Over our three years together, we sang ‘A your Adorable’ almost every night to each other, making up our own silly words for each letter of the alphabet. The more bonkers the better. Laura jumped in first with ‘Marry Me’…
The Arms of Love
I often wake in the morning now to find myself all wrapped up snuggly with my feet playing what Laura called ‘feetsies’, my arms gently wrapped around me, with hands against my cheeks and suffused with a deep soul warmth and joy. When this happens, I wonder if Laura’s spirit slipped into bed during the…
Tati
Laura was an art photographer (her work is collected by 4 New York museums). One of her favorite studies was of her dear friends and upstairs neighbors Marion and Sharon and their two baby girls Tati and Meg. She followed the family around for 5 years. ‘Laura was obsessed with Tati’ says Marion (one of…
Little Children
Laura loved taking pictures of very small children. When I asked her why, she said: ‘Because they are not yet formed human beings. They don’t censor themselves.’ Here are more of Laura’s comments – ‘It is a spiritual picture. She has got her arms outstretched. It looks like she is in awe in heaven.’ –…
Past Lives
On Friday I did a past life regression. I was curious if I would meet Laura again in a previous life. Beforehand my mind was full of Hollywood scenarios – what if we were Navajo Indians roaming the South West (as I die from a poisoned arrow, Laura comforts me in her arms); or concubines…
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you all for the little acts of kindness (and the really big ones too) that made the last 18 months bearable. I am so blessed to have had Laura by my side for 3 years and so blessed to have such extraordinary family and friends (old and new!). Last Thanksgiving was a…
10 Years
These past 10 years have been the hardest of my life. Almost exactly a year ago, Laura’s CT scan came back with pages and pages of new cancer tumors. They poured out of the fax machine in what seemed to be a never ending stream, detailing tumors in her bones, and every organ except her…
Happy Birthday Laura
Laura would have been 60 today. She was born October 29, 1954. Anyone who knew Laura knew she was special. But Sue Frederick, author of Bridges to Heaven, recently explained how unique she was. According to Sue, Laura was a rare and beautiful 22. Probably that means about as much to you as it did…
Missing Post
Rootling about in the back end of this blog I found one of Laura’s unpublished posts from October, 4 2014. It may partly explain our obsession with Downton Abbey Laura – Lucie and I love movies and we usually like the same thing. But we can’t agree on what to watch on TV. She wants…
Doggie Love
Laura LOVED dogs. She spent the last 4 years of her life photographing them and took up grooming so she could spend extra hours playing with her furry friends. ‘All I had to do was love them. I didn’t have to be special. I didn’t have to have a great resume or anything for them…
Tree Love
Washington Sq Park – October 2013
Having Hope
Laura – We are planning all these things that say I’m dying such as having the Visiting Nurse Services provide palliative care in our home and trying to decide whether to get married or not. I want to be linked to Lucie for eternity. We love each other so much. But I’m very sad and depressed…
