041303 - 1. Subject: Millie Remains Powerfully Moving Force
041304 - Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:48:33 -0700
041312 - ..
041313 - 2. Yes to all your questions [...responding to Kathy's letter on
041314 - 100812 1426. ref SDS 24 WB7O...], except still feels like Mil
041315 - is on vacation, and so I'm wondering why no email from her.
041317 - ..
041318 - 3. As you say, on Saturday, I had to take Chris and Benilda to
041319 - BART; very much wanted to say good-by, but very glad you, Amy
041320 - and Michael came. [...to the memorial for Millie on 100807
041321 - 1300. ref SDS 10 RJ5H...]
041323 - ..
041324 - 4. Listening to the many eulogies I thought how lucky to have been
041325 - with Millie 24/7 for 30 years. [...cited in the record of
041326 - Millie's memorial on 100807 1300. ref SDS 10 MY5O Chris was
041327 - telling me that office romances are common at Nixon Peabody,
041328 - and that Mil was the one great prize nobody "landed" in all
041329 - those years. So, there was clearly a deep bond that
041330 - transcended other considerations. We just loved being with
041331 - each other more than with anyone else.
041333 - ..
041334 - 5. If I had died during heart surgery, which I was told was a
041335 - 10-20% chance, then she would be feeling empty, and wondering
041336 - why no email from Rod. Of course Millie was resourceful with
041337 - people. She made friends easily. Somehow I missed that gene,
041338 - more of a loner I guess focused on work.
041340 - ..
041341 - 6. For me, Millie was like the sky that enables birds to soar.
041342 - Her faith and belief made it possible for my work to rise
041343 - beyond reach and imagination, seemingly of everyone on the
041344 - planet. [...cited in memoriam on 100731 2221. ref SDS 7
041345 - E65G...] She never complained about long hours, but worried
041346 - about my health. She made sure I ate, took medication; she
041347 - turned out the light when I fell asleep working. She made sure
041348 - I exercised, by going with until the ravages of disease held
041349 - her back, because all my power could not move the medical team
041350 - to perform commitments. Even then she insisted I go hiking
041351 - alone, though I feel strange and awkward out there without her.
041352 - So, at the moment, it seems the sky has fallen.
041354 - ..
041355 - 7. I was thankful for a call from Paula at Kaiser the day after
041356 - Millie died. Paula was working for approval on a claim we
041357 - filed to get Mil promised treatment, and so both Paula and I
041358 - were crying for coming up short this time. She was consoling
041359 - saying that Mil and I were a great team, and Millie was proud
041360 - of what we accomplished. Still, work is unfinished correcting
041361 - health care problems that put everyone at risk, and at the
041362 - moment I'm not sure how to proceed. I talked to Paula a few
041363 - days ago and she agreed to submit another claim to their
041364 - counsel, but the problem is "standing" to present the record.
041365 - The challenge is how to be constructive without being dismissed
041366 - as mere blind grieving.
041368 - ..
041369 - 8. So, thanks for thinking of me. We now share a loss that is
041370 - difficult for others to fathom.
