Darling, I know I didn't see you every day or sometimes for months. But my life will certainly be lacking without you.

You always supported me. You used to joke that you should be able to claim me as a dependent on your taxes because you bought so many of my patterns. But really, sweetie, I was the one who was dependent on you.

When I felt alienated from my local group, you invited me to come teach at one of your local events.

When I forgot to bring enough food for my ever-ravenous husband, you brought him Popeye's chicken (his favourite!).

When I was worried about my pattern sales, you invited me to set up a table at Crown. (That was the first time I ever sold anything at an event. Look what you started!)

When I didn't have room in my car for a table, you brought me one.

When I was so busy selling that I didn't have time to walk away from the table, you watched the table so I could have lunch. How many times have you made sure that I ate? My blood sugar is forever grateful!

You've offered me your couch more times than I can remember. You made me feel that I was never far away from home.

These things all sound so trivial... I'm afraid I'm not really expressing what I want to convey.

You took care of me. You took care of so many people. I love you, Ro.
