Remembering & Celebrating

Today marks the two-year anniversary of Taro's dad's passing. To remember Bobby and celebrate his life we are wearing his favorite pins, listening to jazz music, writing poems, watching The Red Balloon, dancing, talking about the Brooklyn Dodgers, singing, and playing.
Read more about Bobby's life and work here and here.

  3. What amazing work! And so awesome that your husband continues that legacy. My husband's father passed away 8 1/2 years ago when Hubby was only 24. We have little rituals too...it's lovely to remember the ways someone impacted someone.
