This is a love story, a love that nourished two souls brought together to heal years of unhappiness and despair. Two souls so meant to be united that their oneness gave rise to unspoken thoughts and dreams made possible by their union. For more than three decades, their flame burned brightly as together they forged a life that sought to accomplish much to bring good to this world. Friends and family alike benefited from their generosity of spirit. They, in turn, drew close around them the ones they held most dear to their hearts. This is the story of the love Alan and I shared for so many blessed years. And now that illness, and finally death, have taken his physical presence from my life, I seek once more to unite our spirits and our souls in preparation for a life renewed beyond the vestiges of death. This desire to connect once again to my beloved Alan is so fierce a drive within me that I know the story that I tell will resonate beyond this space and time.
