I've been busy sorting through Pete's things and boy, did he have a lot of stuff! Granted, the vast majority of it is fishing and boating paraphanalia, but there's lots of other stuff, too. I found several boxes of chemisty and physics texts and notebooks. As I was fanning through the notebooks, in the midst of an unused section of a chemisty notebook, I ran across the following that Pete had written:
Feeling like a part of yourself is missing when they're gone.
Getting a warm feeling when they are near.
A smile from them gives you a rush.
Being concerned about their happiness to the extent that it bothers you if you feel they are unhappy.
Wanting to know more about them, so that you might know what to do for them to cheer them up when they're down.
Being willing to give more than you would to just about anyone.
Being able to forgive them for doing or saying something which you might disagree with.
Making a concious effort to do something they will appreciate, or not to do something they will disagree with.
Wanting to see them smile all the time.
Feeling lost when they've got something else to do, but knowing that they are thinking of you.

This is awesome, I love it. So thoughtful and obviously from a beautiful heart. We would all be better people to treat our loved ones this way!
