he was my - i struggle to find the words to put to it all he was - my employer, but also my mentor, confidante, companion, hero, inspiration, friend - a constant presence in my life for the last 8 yrs. he used to joke to people that i was his wife but we didn't share a bed or anything "like that". i met him 10 yrs ago and became his personal assistant soon after that. i have known him longer than i have known my husband. and he is gone. it is all so hard.
thank you for all your kind comments, emails and telephone calls. i will get back to you. right now i am throwing myself into all the minutiae that needs to get sorted out, and so looking forward to trick-or-treating with alice and dorothy.
be well...

I'm so sorry too, Tracy. I read the last entry about him, but I never made the connection to you in my mind. Now I understand.
I'm sending peaceful thoughts your way.
And the costumes are gorgeous. I can't wait to see them on the little ones.

Oh -I didn't make the connection either. I'm so sorry.
What an amazing life he had and how lucky for you to have known him.
Thinking of you.
that looks like some good therapy. i hope you can find some happy memory to fix upon for a bit. have a great date with the bugs!
oh - i'm so sorry, tracy.
those costumes are *perfect*
hope you have some fun with them tonight.

so sorry tracy. i have learned so much this week about the stress of losing things and have become almost neurotic with worry about everyone's safety as a side effect. feeling my age (turning the big 40 today) and wondering about the future. that kind of stuff... take care and immerse yourself in those girls, i sure have with mine. happy halloween and lets talk when you are up to it.
xoxo
Big hugs. I can't imagine how hard this is.
And the costumes are beautiful.
XOJ
So sorry to hear about your loss Tracy...
I was just catching up on your blog, so I just read this and I'm so sorry. Hope you are doing OK. Glad you have your creativity for a refuge.
He sounds like he was a wonderful man. I'm sorry to know you lost a dear friend who meant so much to you.
Galiano will be good. That salty air will fill you up and help heal. A great way to begin a new year.
lots of love.
