This is the beginning of the last two weeks of Sally’s life. We had had a busy and ambitious end of the year, a party, traveling…twice out of state, all in the last three months of the year. Looking back now, knowing these trips and the cinco de novembre party were actually going to be her last excursions, it makes it even more incredible to me. Her strength to travel, to see people, to engage at the end reminds me of the poem by Rudyard Kipling, a specific line
Damon, this is an amazing journey you are describing - and some of us were a close part of the friendship and love expressed by you two; and we also tended to each other as a warm and caring team going through this. Such memories of her and her relationships with Miller 5 staff, many of whom were so good to be around, and some trying to match her humor. Thank you for writing about these times and the now times. It is gripping, sometimes joyous. I am sad for the loss of her physical - emotional presence, her incredible way of being funny about so many things. The sandwich .... an incredibly well loved sandwich....specifically an open faces turkey sandwich. The writing you are doing about this is a special gift to us. And the girl!
