Your touch on the lives of others is like the touch of no one else. The “fingerprints” you leave on someone’s heart can be traced back to no one but you.

Second Lady of the United States

Amy & Mike Nappa went to a Mimi’s Café in California for their first date, way back in their college days. They got engaged 10 days later, and married just a few months after that.

Thirty years later Mike & Amy had their last date in a Hospice room, on the top floor of a Colorado hospital.

Yes, they held hands.

And yes, Mike kissed her goodnight.

Amy at age 22. So pretty! This is the college sweetheart I fell in love with.

Now THIS was a good day! See that gold bracelet Amy’s wearing? When we got engaged I didn’t have a ring, so I gave her that bracelet as a temporary substitute. She kept it—and wore it frequently—for the rest of her life.
