Today I am wearing my favorite brown sweater. It is certainly the oldest article of clothing I own. It was given to me 30 or 31 years ago by Paula Blesener, who claimed it made her look fat. (It didnt. Nor does it make me look fat.) We lost Paula yesterday. I am stunned and saddened. And yet, looking back on her protracted battle with breast cancer (which tortuously seemed to turn into everything-else cancer), I think of my favorite quote from my favorite movie, the Shawshank Redemption: I have to remind myself that some birds arent meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that theyre gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
