It is with great sadness and a very heavy heart that I have to write this.  My love Lennie passed away at 6:45 Monday morning.  He died in my arms, enveloped in my love.  Life will never be the same without him.

SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS 
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
Grieve not, rather find,
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be,
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering,
In the faith that looks through death
In years that bring the philisophic mind.
William WordsworthEnglish poet (1770 – 1850)
