I have tried before, but today it came up so easily.. I found your report about the manuscripts. I remember how excited you were to take us all to the archives to show us these books that you had labored over for who knows how long .. you had to wear gloves and you explained to me they were skin and I was done . Lol . I was so in awe of your courage for experiencing life.. grabbing a backpack and hopping a train to Istanbul..staying in hostels and having no worries about any of the details. You are missed, and thought of and spoken of always in our home. I am no longer in possession of your KWVA hoodie, I let Hadley wear it and he's been wearing it ever since. He has your impeccable fashion sense ( if you can call "joggers" fashion) and it cracks me up. He's got a lot of silly things that you and sister used to do when we were little. I wish I could share all this with you still, I miss your rambling German voicemails and I wish we would have stayed longer on our last visit.. missing you so much today, and everyday. Love, Ambrosia
