In happier times, as they always say when they don't know exactly when a pic was taken. |
Two of the three a year ago this week, overlooking Yankee Stadium, Bronx, June 2013 |
What should we have done? Probably by that time, nothing. The last time I saw Elaine was in September. I know because it's on my blog. Goodbye New York/Goodbye friends/Goodbye conversation that never ends.
Well, that conversation ended. A month later I was on the Amtrak train home when Barb called, hysterical, to say she had found Elaine's body. I wrote this obit.
I love Elaine, but I was mad at her. I guess I'm over it, though, because I recently dreamt that she and Barb and I were going out to dinner. "Elaine," I said. "I thought you were dead!!"
Happy birthday, Elaine. Miss you mucho.
Bet you were actually with her, on an astral plane.
ReplyDeleteWe miss her, too.
That's me CBA and CSLDAJ.
Linda Gomez just called to say her friends and relations thought that was HER in the pic and it was news to them she was dead!
ReplyDeletestill regret not calling her and reaching out with some kind of hope?
