**LAURA DAWN MIDDLETON**
November 27, 1963 — November 29, 2017
*We hoped someday we would build our Dream House. Where we would stay young together and live for the rest of our lives . . .*
**LIVE BRAVE: A Tribute To Laura Middleton** features the memorial tribute that I wrote for Laura—my steadfast friend of 35 years and my partner for the last 3 1/2 years of her life—on April 1, 2018, Easter Sunday. I titled the tribute "Live Brave" and started writing at the stroke of midnight. I wrote till the sun came up.
I first posted "Live Brave" on the Facebook page "Celebration of Laura Middleton," which one of Laura's high school friends and I created to honor Laura's wish that I provide a way for family and friends to share their memories, grief, and love.
To more fully and enduringly honor Laura's human life and immortal spirit, I present "Live Brave" between the covers of a book. The book, which includes additional commentary and photos, also serves as a threshold to another tribute to Laura that I hope to create—a building: an architectural monument. I've given it a name.
LIVE B.R.A.V.E. | The Middleton Memorial.
I envision this memorial as an artistic expression of my love for Laura—and her love for me: our love story—and a tribute to star-crossed lovers throughout space and time.
But I also foresee this memorial speaking to everyone, from Laura's friends and family to strangers down through the ages. A poetic reminder in concrete, steel, and stone—space and light—to follow Laura's shining-star example and Live Brave.
Love Brave.
