Good Morning, Baby. As usual, here I am on the sofa - looking at your bed But today you are not in it and that's not right! Baby, I've been crying all night. I need you, I need you, I need you I want to crawl into that bed with you and just hold you What I am going to do without you? I love you - I'm so sorry - I love you - I'm so sorry - I love you . .

Look Baby - Lauren wrote you! You've missed her so very much. I hope you two can reunite and heal despite everything. Go for it!

I've got your back. I will always be here for you! Just turn to me and I'll be here to hold you forever. Nothing will ever change that.

Hi, I am Walter's daughter Lauren. I just found out this devastating news. Although, I haven't seen him in quite sometime, I will miss him. We had amazing memories together and those will be kept close to my heart forever. Thank you so much for creating this memorial for my Dad. It means so much to me. I am so sorry for your loss too.
With all my love,
Lauren (Jellybean)

When I think of Walter, the words ”never give up!” come to mind. I was always amazed at his determination to keep living life even though his body was trying to stop him. He went places when it would have been a lot less painful to stay home. When it would have been easier to just let someone else handle it or ignore it all together, Walter waited on hold to talk to AT&T to change the TV service. He had to repeat himself many times due to his weakened voice, but he was determined to take care of this responsibility of normal American life. It was an exhausting phone call.

Baby, despite my age, you were my first and only true love.

Thank you for finding me on-line. As you said,
reading my profile was like reading about a female version of yourself.

Right from the start -
You made laugh so hard my stomach hurt.
We chatted without effort.
We shared so much past and present.
You courted me - something rare these days.
You treated me with so much respect and kindness; I was blown away.

I feared your disease.

I thought long and hard before taking our relationship to the next step.
I KNEW, that any offer/promise I made to you would be FOREVER. 
I could never offer my love and care and then ever deny it.
After much thought I decided "YES", I've waited for this man my entire life and if I have him for 1 year or many, he's worth it. 
We fought the fight baby; I wish I could have done more.

Sweetie, you so made me want to be a better person.
I'm still trying; thank you for your patience with me.

- Your Baby - Forever,

         Linda

My Baby. My soul mate.. I waited so very long for you. Now what do I do?
