Here in the house, a treasured poetry book, letters, photographs, pins, cards and other things have been assembled next to the front entrance. It has become a shrine of sorts ­­- for me a comfort and constant reminder of Peter's powerful presence. During his unexpected and sudden departure Peter was clear and decisive. Requesting an "ironic" container for his cremains, we found in the basement a tiny cat casket that had been constructedfor Trufi, who wouldn't fit inside. Arrow, another favorite feline, having been cremated two years previously, is now with the man who loved him unreservedly. And according to one final request, a red leather-sheathed steel cleaver, Mateo's 2022 Christmas gift to his grandfather, is also an essential part of this memorial. For now, my solace is remembering, recalling and being inspired by the many years of significant events and special times that we shared, beginning half a century ago when we became known as Peter & Jan.
