That was a beautiful tribute, NM. Thank you for being there for EH and her whole family. No one ever wants to have this happen but you're handling it with love and grace and I am grateful for you.
I had the pleasure of knowing Peter, while living upstairs from EH, and then sharing an apartment with her, and working together. He was a truly unique man, so vibrant, so full of energy and light and life. He was a font of knowledge, he was an extremely quick wit, and he had so much love within him - for his family, for his friends, for everyone that he met - it just flowed out of him.
I treasure the time I spent with him - I, too, was invited to warm holiday gatherings where you felt like family instead of a guest. There was always so much laughter around their table, and it was a great tribute today that there was still laughter around that table, in his memory.
I am kicking, kicking, kicking myself for never having the courage to intern at his theater company when the opportunity was there to learn from someone so gifted. But I learned so much from him otherwise.
EH, he isn't fully gone from this plane, because I see a lot of him within you. The spirit, the wit, the love - it's all there inside of you and I celebrate that today.
