I saw this card, and it just reminded me how little we do understand the "why" of life and death. I know Melvin's death is heartbreaking and has given you a great loss. But I have seen this wonderful, successful family thrive through al the years, and I've been proud to have had a little part in it. Even though I have long since been away from the family, you always treated me like family and with respect. I always enjoyed this Christmas letters over the years as I could watch the family grow up. I told Melvin after you first met that he would be a lucky and blessed man if you two few in love (and I was right).
Jan, you are a strong woman and always a stabilizing force in everything you did. I think back now on your mother and daddy as I cared for them medical for a long time. I remember making house calls, and you are al a part of wonderful memories of a good life in medicine.
I wish my personal life had not suffered so but we can never go back - just have to go forward. Now that's you have to do - go forward - enjoy those memories and your great children and grandchildren and know we'll all eventually be back home. You and Melvin were and are an important part of what my life has blessed me with. Thanks to you for your call to me, it meant lots.
It will be hard for awhile, but you have a good life with Melvin to look back on and a good future and support to see you along the way.
