Last week you heard an essay by Amy Krauss Rosenthal.
It was called you may want to marry my husband.
The essay was published just days before Amy died of ovarian cancer.
This past summer, her husband, Jason wrote his own modern love essay called my wife said, you may want to marry me.
It's read by Andre Holland.
He's the executive producer and star of High Flying Bird, now on Netflix and in select theaters.
I am that guy.
A little over a year ago, my wife, Amy Krause Rosenthal, published a modern love essay called you may want to marry my husband.
At 51, Amy was dying from ovarian cancer.
She wrote her essay in the form of a personal ad.
It was more like a love letter to me.
Those words would be the final ones Amy published.
She died ten days later.
Amy couldn't have known that her essay would afford me an opportunity to fill this same column with words of my own, telling you what has happened since.
I don't pretend to have Amy's extraordinary gift with words and wordplay, but here goes.
During our life together, Amy was a prolific writer, publishing children's books, memoirs, and articles.
