Thoughts
Dear Dan,
Every day we miss you. We always wish you were here sharing with us and we sharing with you.
Every January 10th is a cold day for us, but especially for me, Rosa because my life stops this day every year as it stopped that January 10th of 2011 when you left us. You are in our thoughts and hearts everyday, but despite of it, my life stayed cold and dark since the day you were gone.
As every year, we do something special, go for a hike, make your favorite recipe, talk about you.
We celebrated you this year going to a jazz concert and to our surprise the last song they interpreted was the song they used for your tribute in Mexico. I just cried. Today, remembering the time your life ended, we went to a hike spread some of your ashes to the beauty of nature and sent love to you wherever you are.
I miss your voice, your stories, your wisdom, your intelligence and love.
Gio is doing well and everyday he seems to be more and more like you. He misses you and he keeps you in his heart forever.
We love you Dan and no matter how many years have passed, we feel hurt for your departure and we will mourn you forever.
Love,
Manuel, Gio and Rosa
Rosa

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative,
to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.
Lao Tzu

In my beginning is my end. Now the light falls
Across the open field, leaving the deep lane
Shuttered with branches, dark in the afternoon...
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
From 'East Coker,' "Four Quartets" by T.S. Eliot

Candles
You are often in our thoughts, forever in our hearts. You are always with us, Dan. I light this candle today as a symbol of your enduring legacy, as a tribute to the purity of your soul and your life’s purpose.

Dear Daniel. I thank our good Lord for your precious soul. I miss you very much. I remember the trip from Philadelphia to Tennessee back in 1986 to that meeting with Skinner. Your dear patents and you have always been most kind. I miss your kindness and noble soul. Brotherly love and gratitude from your Brazilian friend.

Ten years in the blink of an eye. The essence of your being lives on in our hearts and in Gio, who is now launched, and is a formidable and exceptional young man. We think of you always and are grateful for the time we had with you, and the memories that we cherish.
