Heck of a trick you played this morning, Love! I rolled out of bed and decided to brush my teeth first thing—before drinking morning coffee or anything else. I squeezed a bead of toothpaste onto my toothbrush, ran some water over it, then put it in my mouth to start brushing. Zap! There it was, clear as anything I've ever tasted—the fresh anise flavor of the Homeodent paste you always used. How?! This is a relatively new toothbrush and has only ever had the same minty paste I use. It was unmistakeable, though—the taste of your toothpaste, the taste of your freshly-brushed mouth, the taste of your fresh kiss. Then I blinked, it was gone, and I could only taste my usual mint. It was a very quick trick, but it was beautiful. Thank you! You had me smiling all day.

I found this picture from October 2008, when my mom came to visit us in New York. You're crystal clear and I'm all fuzzy. Just like in real life!

All my love,
~Adam

Been thinking about you lots and was looking through our emails from this time last year - needless to say, though you are still positive, the subject matter is not so great - you were so so brave to write to us about it all and be so present and clear - I'm so glad you did so we could be connected to your reality. After feeling all melancholy about missing you I decided to look back and see where we were all at the year before, April 2008's emails revealed that Eva had just left you in New York where you had both had a ball together, this is where that great Mia quote "We walk arm in arm and of course are a sight for sore eyes .. In the LES they say "mmm charlie's angels" but then in midtown, a bit disturbingly they called us "..lesbian bitches" .... !!!!" came from.

Eva was soon heading over here to Oz for her big move, Davida had just chased a junkie thief down the road and got her stolen bag back like some empowered superhero, Ele was nose deep in her studies and you were galavanting around Brussels and Paris watching Adam's shows with Amber where you bumped into Al and Saskia.

Me, I'd just got some bad results from the doctor which leads us in a big circle all the way to today where I'm sat with my huge belly bulging in front of me - only 2 more months to go till I meet this little kicker. I so so so so wish you were here to share it loca - I think I may even have convinced you to visit Sydney for this. I know you'll be looking down, laughing at me, not with me - at me! But in a nice way ;-) We'll have to get Davida on the video duties, she's pretty good but you'll always be the best director, editor and documentary maker.

Bueno - been good reminiscing with you xxxxx :-)

Love you Loca
