Today is Valentine’s Day so let me tell you about my son and his love, Jamie.
They had been constant companions for almost five years. They lived together, worked together and spent every waking moment together.
Andrew was a difficult person at times, and that is an understatement!
He was so passionate about his beliefs and would argue his point to the bitter end. Jamie was his balance. For the most part she seemed to support him unconditionally while ignoring his rants. She loved him and by his own admission she took excellent care of him.
I never had to worry while he was with Jamie. She watched his health, monitored his medicines, interceded on his behalf with doctors and kept him fed and watered and pruned him when nessacary.
But it was so much more than that. She loved him, she put up with him, she argued with him and she laughed with him. She made his family hers and made her family his. But most important to me was the fact that my son loved her. End of story – all the other aside, what mattered most is that my son loved her.
And I love her.

Hey Cara. Jamie and Paco were definitely a great match. Joel and I love these stories that you put up of Andrew. I have a blogspot account. I started it a while back, but then I forgot the password! Ha, ha. But I finally remembered my login information today. So I play on keeping up with it now. lol. Feel free to check it out. I also have an account on xanga as well.
That is a beautiful story. She must be heartbroken.
It's been almost 3 years and she is just now getting to where she can see herself moving forward - its been so hard on her.
