LIVE BRAVE A Tribute To Laura Middleton [2018] By JEF7REY HILDNER LIVE BRAVE: A Tribute to Laura Middleton features the memorial tribute that I wrote for Laura—my steadfast friend for 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 BRAVE | The Middleton Memorial. LAURA DAWN MIDDLETON: November 27, 1963 — November 29, 2017
