Amy, thank you, as always, for sharing this. So sweet, so tender, so sad. I can't bear to think of how this would break Anna's heart. But I'm glad he's expressing himself and obviously has the love and support to do so, in a way I think is quite profound for a three year old.
Hannah,
He wrote the letter last week after a very successful letter we wrote to his Dr. requesting that he be able to stop drinking the yucky medicine, the next day he asked to write Mommy. This blog has been so amazing for him, because he knows that if he asks and we look, that other people are also thinking about his Mommy and remembering her. He's learning how to spell and he is learning to spell ANNA.
He's incredibly introspective these days, and feeling better, and feeling happy.:)
Dario, I could have written the same letter. I miss her too. I know that your mommy's love is there for you every day. I love your coloring and !'m so proud of you for learning to spell! Kisses to you, wonderful boy!
Great work, Dario! I graduated alongside Anna (same year & major) and was shocked to see the news of her passing in the Reed magazine. I didn't know Anna well, but I did have a few classes with her and I was always impressed with the way she could find something smart and insightful to say without ever seeming self-important. On top of that she had a bright and distinctive smile that seemed to suggest she was forever up to something interesting. Life at Reed in those years was better for her being there.
Dale,
Thanks for your comment! I felt sure that many people at Reed probably remembered Anna fondly, but had not heard of her death and so we submitted the obituary. Again, thanks for taking the time to come and share your memories of Anna.
Hannah,
Thanks so much for posting the obituary. I was two years behind her at Reed, and ridiculously shy. Just flipping through the Reed mag not realizing I was in the obituary section, I saw Anna's name and picture with her kids and was momentarily thrilled for her. I remembered her face and name, and though I didn't know her I associated her most strongly with those women at Reed who had a profound effect on me: outspoken, courageous, righteous, and redefining beautiful. She was awesome, even to some of us who barely knew her.
I have a son Dario's age, a daughter fifteen months younger. I thought I couldn't love them more than I already do, but reading these remembrance pages makes me aspire more to live by Anna's example.
Ruby and Dario, what a legacy your mama left you. May you shine with that pride your whole lives.
