079/366 Que descanses en paz

This is Jeff’s chair. It’s where he sat at my dining room table every Monday night for years as we muddled through news story translations and Spanish literature. His Spanish was better than the rest of our group put together. In fact, he was a certified translator, and had traveled extensively in South America.

He was optimistic, funny, gentle, kind, thoughtful, wise, and never had a bad word to say about anyone. Even if they deserved it. A lovely man, and we were all so lucky to have known him.

The day before yesterday, he slipped away after a 21-month fight with an aggressive brain cancer.

Two weeks ago he phoned me from the hospital to tell me how much he appreciated Fred and me for hosting Spanish all these years. And I told him how fortunate I was to have gotten to know him a little better over the past year (we used to attend another Spanish conversation class on Saturday mornings, and we had plenty of time to visit on the drive there and back). He made sure he left nothing unsaid, telling all his friends and family (who came in from far and wide) how much they meant to him. That was the kind of guy he was.

We will miss him greatly – we who only knew him through Spanish classes and groups. I can’t even imagine how much his wife and family will miss this wonderful man.

For We're Here - Tiny Handwriting.

(I cheated, using text instead of handwriting, for the sake of visibility. So I won’t put it in the “Tiny Handwriting” group, just the “We’re Here!” group. It was the image I wanted to do today.)
