FOR HAROLD
Harold patiently educated me on the computer, helped me with all of my exhibits...carrying to setting them up...encouraged me to the nth degree...I could not have created anything without him...He was a part of every creative venture.
Harold was also a compassionate and loving father and grandfather. Throughout his life he was dedicated to the Jewish community; he was created the Rocky Mountain Hebrew Free Loan Society and he served on many boards including JCC, Warren Village, head of the Beth Israel Foundation, helped create Shalom Park for the Aged and much more.
Dedication
Dear Harold, We were Beshert
As Lady GaGa says the world
keeps turning and turning
And I’m not moving on….
I went to a therapist the other day
Retelling all the wonderful stories
Our honeymoon, all your virtues
Even ones you didn’t have
I love everything about you
Even when I didn’t
You yourself were so amazing
What a sweet smile
What a wonderful man
I was so lucky to have you
In my life and
Hopefully that you wished the same
As you so often said
We were beshert
You were my best support
(Hence this memoir)
The one who loved me the most
The one who loved me too easily
We were beshert
We believed in the same world view
In our sense of social justice
In our sense of charity
In our sense of supporting our children
My heart is so full of you
Every day, every day, every day
I think of you
I hug my memory of you
What do I regret…I regret so much
Not telling you
How much I needed and loved you
How I miss those kisses and hugs
at the bottom of our stairs
Your kiss on my neck
And I linger even now and
I still smile at the thrill
I always felt
I know you knew that
When we held hands
I felt your blood running
through my hands
I knew you felt that too!
Did you know that
When we danced even when apart
I felt closer to you
Than at most any other time
Even as I held you every night
We were so in sync
With the rhythm the music the rhyme
I didn’t even know how much
I loved you
Why hadn’t I told you enough?
I can’t understand why not?
“The world keeps turning
And turning…And I’m
Not moving on…
If I knew it would be the last
Time I would have
broke my heart In two
…trying to save a part of you”
I’ll never love again
