Remembering Daniel Noah Fine

 on the 23rd anniversary of his passing

We remember our son and brother Danny for his nurturing way-

caring for other people's feelings, for his uncompromising honesty,

sincerity, generosity, and sense of fairness.

He strove for perfection in everything he did,

whether rowing on his college's crew team, academics, or work.

He experienced a spiritual maturing during the early months of his illness

when he thanked us, his parents, for giving him life.

He faced his illness with extraordinary courage and dignity,

never complaining or expressing anger or asking, "Why me?" 

He would have been a wonderful father and we lost the promise of

how much more he had to offer as a human being.

Although his life was far too short, we will love him forever.

Always in our hearts and minds.

Mom, Dad, Aron and Rebecca

Dear Timothy,

10/27/1996 is your day of birth, it will always be a Miracle Day for me and your mom.

Our last letter together, spoke of our last day together and this letter I would like to talk about our first day together. It is a miracle, after 10 years of medical treatments, your mom was never giving up until you showed up at the hospital. I remember that day, Mom went to the doctor, got an ultrasound, and brought home your photo as though you were posing for the camara. We could see your chubby cheeks and there was even a bit of a smile. You showed up the next day on 10/27, looking exactly like your ultrasound photo, smile and all.

I cannot express the joy, love, and happiness from that first moment when I saw you and held you in my arms. Your Mom and I could not take our eyes off you as you slept in our arms, it was a miracle. We did not think of all the years, all the miles traveled from one doctor to the next, that did not matter, what mattered was we had our Timothy Christian finally. This day, your birthday, has always been more important to us than you know, and will always be a miracle day.

Every birthday for the last 10-15 years, I would give you a model car and write that year on the car. I still do that and have a collection since your passing, on a special shelf unit I made for them. Some people may think it’s unusual, but it’s my way to recognize that miracle day, your birthday, and I will do it this 10/27 and for as long as I can. Our first day together as it has been said… “I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”. Our love, joy and friendship will always be in our hearts. We miss you and love you, especially on this miracle day…your birthday, our first day together, 10/27/1996.

Love,

Mom, Dad and Katherine

Dear Jillian,

You lived a full life with all of its "ups" and "downs"

and I continue on that journey.

I am so blessed for the twenty years we had together.

You taught me the true meaning of love!

I miss you desperately but am grateful you are safe in God's care.

I will do my best to live well here as I wait to see you again

my dear sweet Jill.

Love Always and forever,

Mom

Dear Timothy,

It will be four years on 9/4/21 when we had our goodbyes at Endicott College, you were starting your Junior year.  It seems like yesterday, or a few hours ago, or another whole world away.  We miss you every measure of time and we long to hold you, as you were, when you were a little boy.  Our sense of time has changed since we last had those few parting words, “I’ll see you later”.  Your Mom, sister and me talk about you often, and many times it’s sad, or there are times when you are right there in the kitchen having a smile and laughing…God we miss those times. Time is now an unusual thing, not like it was before, it’s something we have had to learn how to figure out.  My watch runs differently, days it can fly by and days it hardly moves at all.  There are times it moves backward, and I get stuck thinking how you were as a child, my little boy, those days are the most special of any days.

Our time was much too short, but every day, every moment, you will live in our hearts forever. Your whole family and all your friends miss you and love you, and someday we will see each other.  I may even say, you see I was right.  I’ll see you later…and that will be a great day.  I like to think about 9/4, our last day together, we spent the whole day together, shopping for school, getting you set up.  Never in a million years or more, would anyone know that was our last day together.  I travel past those places we went to, and I can still see you coming out of Staples and saying, “OK lets go, I’ve got everything”.  My parting thought is just that, “You never know when it’s the last day together”.  Appreciate those moments, you never know…it’s time which could change the next day…like 9/5/21.

All our love forever,

Mom, Dad and Katherine
