In memory of Anita
I've been slow to post because I have been a little unsure what to say.
I've known Anita since I met Jack ten or so years ago. For years, I wondered what she thought of me. She always seemed a bit distant towards me, and for awhile I wondered if she disliked me. I eventually understood that it was nothing of the sort -- probably just the chemistry between us. I came to a deep affection and admiration for her, especially her courage in the face of illness.
Comments bymcjulie and mareklamo really resonated with me:
I see Riley as one of Anita's most important legacies, and having provided some care for Riley in the past couple of years, I feel very vested in that.
So, I will cajole and pester and support Jack, andmareklamo and I will provide more Riley care as needed. It will be our way of honoring Anita's memory.
