Forever and Always

| | Comments (4)

Every year without fail, from somewhere - I don't know exactly, I get a birthday reminder for Syd - a week before, another a few days before. I know I subscribed to some service eons ago that sends me this message, but I don't get the reminders for anyone else. No one. And I won't cancel it.

Her's is one of the handful of phone numbers in my mobile directory that I cannot erase. I just can't. Her obituary and some of the newspaper articles written at the time are still on the kitchen bulletin board. They'll stay; I don't know how long.


Syd at Her Best

Happy Birthday, Syd.
You will be missed forever and always.


I stole this picture from Hobie. I hope she doesn't mind. My thoughts are with you, my dear, and your family!

I don't know what play is pictured, I don't when it was painted, but it feels like it's every show, every time.

oh Kate... that picture just gave me an overwhelming sense of "home". I don't know how else to explain it. It reminds me of some of my fondest memories of youth.

I'll chime in with my "Happy Birthday" sent out to the universe... I'm sure she's enjoying it, wherever she is.

I believe you are right.

That is a wonderful painting, and I agree that it feels like home. Thanks for the tribute to Syd.

    Colon Testing Saves Lives: What You Need to Know About Colon Testing

    Colon cancer starts with a growth that is not yet cancer. Testing can help your doctor find (and remove) these growths before they become cancerous. If the test finds that colon cancer has already developed, you have a much better chance of beating it if it is found early.

    Please visit the ACS for more information.

    Remember, in this case, what you don't know CAN kill you.
