In Loving Memory of Anthony St. Jude Greene

My best friend died Sunday, July 24, 2011.
Best and oldest friend...a brother and someone connected to my soul throughout life.

It's not entirely real to me...we'd always talk, plan trips to see each other. This is going to be hard.

He struggled a lot throughout his life; his weight problem, respiratory issues, sensitivity in general as he got older and heavier.
It's a damn shame. He was a very strong man. Very strong! He'd fight off death for years. :)
He'd joke about it a lot...saying that death is gonna have to fight harder because he's not giving up.

His heart gave out, his body had enough trauma. He just had to let go, we have to acknowledge that he lived hard, fought well, died nobly.

We'd joke about our heritage...we had much of the same mix of mutt in us, which was quite unique. He was also the son of many many vikings! Norsemen were tough, full of valor and grit, arghhhhhhh! Those medieval times men had nothing on Anthony Greene. :)
Nothin!

It's unbelievable how badly I am going to miss him.
33 years old. He knew me. The true "meebies"...(my nickname)...truer than I'd ever be able to see.

I see him too. Antny Greene...Grrrrrrrrrrrrreene, the Irishman...lover of wolves, horror flicks, and Alyssa Milano.  haha He got me into Karate, knives, Laurel K. Hamilton, taught me how to clean a pool, play some video games, clip bonsai trees, love unconditionally.

This is my brother.

















I love you, brother!<3 Rest peacefully.

  1. Jessica, This is Dexter, Anthony's friend.
    Marlene contacted me via Facebook just after Anthony died, but facebook never told me I had the message, so unfortunately, I just discovered this today.
    I'm so deeply saddened by this... Ive never met someone with such an indestructible, enduring soul- this just confuses my whole being. I tried to call him in June when I was visiting California, with no answer sadly. Was he ill at this time? Can you give me some more details? my email address is caldechrome@gmail.com I really would like to hear more about what happened.
    The connection I had with him was so immediate, wonderful and strong. I really really loved and still love him very much.
    I'm sorry that I found out so late.
    -Dexter

Ways You Can Support 💜 Dear Friends, As I navigate some meaningful transitions this season, I’m reaching out with gratitude and humility. If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones. Contribute to our August rent — a little breathing room would mean a lot. Share resources or curriculum for advanced elementary studies — I’m homeschooling! Help me enroll in an advanced Spanish class. Support with vehicle tag renewal costs. Haircuts for the kiddos. New clothing for the little ones — they grow so fast! Help organizing and decluttering at home. Let me know if your address can be a reliable business address for LAPS correspondence. Let me know if you have a safe space to store a few treasured keepsakes from the kids’ (and my) childhood. Help us host a community birthday c...

One Month Away!

In one month, I get to marry the most loving person I've ever met in my lifetime! Juan Adrian Cardenas, thank you for loving me.   Te amo! I have been in bliss ever since I've met him...and I can't believe how well I could ever get along with another human being. This is a wonderful gift, and I hope all of humanity gets the opportunity to experience this. Dreams come true. You must NEVER give up on yourself. You must also believe that you are WORTH every bit of happiness. You must cherish YOURSELF first before you find true love... True Love Never Diez... :) Love for yourself is really the primary thing...do what you love, be who you want to be... and your energy will exude into the ether...sending out pheromones, this is the attraction. Be yourself... you ARE the attraction. It's so possible, just never give up...that is my advice. Not sure if anyone asked, but I had to write this down. This is the path I've taken, which has led me to Juan. Led ...

Trials and Decades

In realizing that I have suffered 3 great tragedies, I found it odd that it seemed to represent the themes of each decade. I always sought harmony, family...(now at least found it in great friends). When I truly thought of all this, I affirmed that each of these tragedies created a triumph...simply because I am still here. I am still wound up and positive...moving forward. So, the three tragedies, in my eyes, can transform themselves into 3 different books. Or if not books, 3 sections of a book. It may be suitable that this book have 30 pages, but some topics take more time, some take more pain, and therefore cause more words to shed. I like that, words shed for tragedy lived. I think I have my title now.
