Electra Ladom, thank you for this beautiful post, my heart hurts for you, I have been thinking about him since I heard the sad news. I have not been good about staying in touch with the grad school crew but have run into or been In touch with Roy a bit through the years.
I want to share a story that I feel embodies who he was. He was my peer supervisor during our practicum, and he, of course, was wonderful. I was pregnant at the time and he had gone to Japan for a visit. When he came back he brought me an amulet blessed by a monk for a healthy pregnancy. It was such an incredibly beautiful and unexpected gesture and I would rub it on my belly each night, I believe it worked:). There are other memories I could share, he touched my life profoundly as I know he did so many others. I will never forget him and am so grateful to have known him. My thoughts are with you. 💗
