Today would have been Marc’s 63rd birthday. These last two weeks have felt like a century, and almost every day, I catch myself thinking of telling Marc something that happened in my day. Today, I spent a few hours in Marc’s office going through his books, as this was the best way I could think to celebrate his life and passions. Amongst all the dust and receipts as bookmarks and tiny scribbled notes in the margins, I felt more connected to Marc than I had been these last few weeks. It felt like walking through his footsteps and almost like having a conversation with him.
