On October 16, 2005, Ralph took his last breath. He'd fought a courageous battle with acute myelogenous leukemia for a year, endured medical mishaps that sapped his strength but never diminished his will, spent seven months in the hospital and managed to make it a home for both of us, and uttered his last words to me the night before he died: "I love you."
This is one of my favorite pictures of us, even though it doesn't show our faces. We look so comfortable together, still in love with each other after many years, much laughter, arguments that he usually won, and all the bumps on the road of life.
I remember him with love and dedicate Tuesday to his memory.
