January Seventh

January 7th...I don't like it. It's the day Danny and I flew back to Pittsburgh, PA and spent our last few weeks together. January 7th is when I start to look back and remember what we did during those last few weeks. We both loved Pittsburgh. It's sad that our time there was short. I look forward to taking Jack there some day...soon, I hope.


The building in the back is where Danny went to school.






This was a typical night for us in Pittsburgh. (don't mind the clothes hanging from the counter. we seriously had no room. i had to hang our clothes on the counter to dry) After a while, we would do a switch...he gave me the computer to proof read his paper and I gave him the magazine to read while he waited.

January definitely stirs up our memories of Danny. The last time we saw him was in the hospital when you two visited us when Ikey was born. It is a nice memory because you guys were so excited about Jack.

Thank you for posting those pictures. It's always good to be able to think about Sandy. He was such a good friend and I think about him often. You two are such a cute couple and Jack is such a cute boy.
Our prayers will be with you this time of the year every year.

I hope this month you can reflect on the good times...and have comfort. I know Danny is with you and wants you and Jack to have the best life possible. You are an amazing person! Maybe watching my Jack every flipping day haha will draw your attention away from the sadness...even for just a little bit. Love you girl!

I love that guy so much! He's the best big brother in the world! I miss him so so much... especially during the holidays and this month. I am sad I didn't take up his offer to be the third wheel and accompany you guys on your move to Pittsburgh (not like there was room)... it would have been nice to see his school and your guys' apartment.

So many of my memories of Danny are among the best memories I have, and because of him I know Traci and Jack who are both simply amazing and make the lives of anyone who knows them, even a very little, more bright because of the association. This time of year does unfortunately carry with it extra reminders of the few memories Danny left that still elicit a tearful response. I loved seeing these pictures that make so clear the wonderful things that made so many of us love Danny. You are awesome Traci, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I just have to say that you are amazing. Seriously! I had a tear reading this. I only wish I could have got to know him better but what I did from seeing him a few times and the stories Brandon has told me he was an awesome guy! I think of you guys all the time and so does Brandon. If you ever need anything I hope you know you can come to either of us, even if it is to just to share stories:) Thanks for showing us those pictures!!!
