Hi Mom and Dad, Just a note to let you know how much I miss you both in my life. I remember the first time as a child that I understood that parents die. I was so afraid of what I would ever do without you. I cried myself to sleep so many nights thinking about that. I will be in a store and will see someone from the back that looks like one of you and it catches my breath. It makes my heart heavy to think I will never be able to wake you up on New Years eve with Chinese food at midnight ever again. I miss all of your guidance and your wealth of knowledge that I could always fall back on. Did Dad tell you I would call the house for you for almost a year after you were gone? I would call late at night when I could not sleep and needed you to talk to. It kind of freaked Dad out at first. Then I would just cry and tell him I missed you and was sorry to wake him up. Mom, I am sorry I did not go to the hospital the night they called and said you were dying. I could not accept it, and thought if I did not go it would somehow stop it from happening. Dad I am sorry things were so bad just before you left me. I never meant for that to be how your life would end. Remember when I sat with you in the ER holding your hand for hours a few days before you went to be with Mom. I think of that often. Thank you both for all the wonderful things you taught me like how to love animals and the Earth. Thank you for making me the person that I am. I miss you both terribly! I know you will both be there for me when my life is ending to take me over. Till we see each other again! All my love to you Mom and Dad!!

Your loving daughter Ruthy
