May 9 1996

Even 15 years later I find this time of year very difficult--today in particular.  Words are elusive and melancholy is anything but.  Mary Jane's struggles before and during her illness weigh heavily on my mind.  There's a hole that won't ever be filled.  I learned things no one ever seeks to learn.  I guess I just didn't want to day to pass without some kind of acknowledgement.  Here's to you sweetie!
