by Laney very kindly sent me more recent pictures of Aly and Sophie (and Sascha!) to put up here. Laney is obviously behind the camera in all, alas. Ah. A fresh wave of sadness.
The country family.
Future rocker.
Everyone looks completely tuckered out in this one.
Someone once asked me during one of my deep bouts of grief over Steven if I would have preferred that I not known him so as to spare myself the loss. And that really got me thinking.
While I still can’t help but feel profound sadness at his loss all these years later (21 and counting)the loss on my part would be so much greater had I not had him the whole first half of my life …
Relish Aly’s presence and the effect he had on your life.
Thank you for those words. I feel for his family, and Sophie, who will not get to grow up with her wonderful dad.
