To-Do List

by Todd Nigro

Here’s something I found awhile after Ellie died. It was touching and I wanted to share it. I was finally getting around to cleaning up my desk, and I found a piece of paper. It was a “To-Do List” that I wrote presumably in early January 2012, just before Ellie passed away. The items on the list relate to buying Ellie’s cello, setting up the kids swim meet, and getting the address to pay Nathan (Ellie’s cello teacher). Ellie must have seen the list, and she added an important item at the end. I feel like she’s still loving me today when I find these treasures.
