“I had a crush on Maeve from the moment I met her. We said that we loved each other after dating for two weeks. I’ve been going back through old letters and we were talking about growing old together before we’d ever even moved into our first apartment. She wrote to me about how scary it was to be this sure about anything. Weren’t we too young? ‘I know,’ I replied, ‘Won’t this kind of intense love fade?’ I laughed in tears reading those letters because those kids were so young.
David also recalled that the two would “write letters and notes to each other all the time,” something they continued to do throughout their marriage.He then shared stories about Gideon, reminiscing that he was an “extraordinary child” and recalled several moments when he was “so proud” of his son. “She was always worried about whether they were too cold, or had enough water, or needed a snack. A number of friends, in the last few days, had written to say that being with Maeve has changed their parenting. They say that they say yes to more activities, they get down in the dirt and invent new games, and parent with a sense of intention and wonder and magic,” he said.
At the end of the eulogy, David expressed his gratitude for everyone who was supporting the family in their time of need. “We’re all so grateful that you’re with us today, but also that you’ve been with us on the road leading here, and that you’ll be with us in the journey that lies ahead. We thank you for your love and your support.
