Life after death

People have commented to me on a few occasions this year on how strong I've been handling Leslie's death. I've been thinking about that a bit lately (mainly the last few weeks seeing I didn't have too many distractions in Boise).

The secret to that success comes from Leslie. When her family put together a little historical documentary, her father asked her what she would tell the next generation. She said, "Live life. Have fun. And that's it."

When I saw that clip again during the funeral and at other times during the past 16 months, I made the choice to follow that advice. It isn't easy all the time, but it's helped me move on and remember what this life is all about.

You really do give hope to many. My sister also has been able to cope well after the passing of her husband. I am so awed by you guys. If there is anything I can do let us know. We miss you Rob.
