"Each day Is the anniversary Of a day On which we loved each other A little more Than the day before. [to his wife Cokie]"-Steven V. Roberts, Cokie: A Life Well Lived
"As I was writing this book, my sister-in-law called early one morning to say that my younger brother Glenn had died overnight after a lengthy illness. 'Go back to sleep,' she urged me, but as I sat there with the phone in my hand, I actually asked myself, 'What would Cokie do?' And I immediately knew the answer: get up, get dressed, and go over to my brother's house, about fifteen minutes away. As I was driving there, I called my sister and told her I was following Cokie's example. You're wrong, she said, Cokie would have been there last night, sleeping on the couch. When I told my son, Lee, this story, he corrected me again. Mom, he said, would have been there for the last three nights sleeping on the couch. Perhaps, after reading this book, you too will start asking that same question: What would Cokie do?"-Steven V. Roberts, Cokie: A Life Well Lived
