Emily, you have found what so many people have searched for unsuccessfully -- the fountain of youth and because you found it, the world is a little less vivacious a little less talented a little less sensitive a little less intelligent It's lacking in hugs and piano sound and happy-to-see-you smiles and wicked little glances I mean, the power of a personality that can deeply affect someone only known for months is a rare, special thing but, that makes it all the more painful to those whose lives fell into orbit around yours. Yes, you will always be 19 now. So many people would envy that, I think. But I am a selfish person and I'd have rather watched you age. I never aimed at reality; I aimed at truth. --Orson Welles |

I'm glad to have found this in the folds of Open 21, like a careworn blanket. Now all I need is some coffee and a mind like yours. |

It's hard to respond to the death of this beautiful and talented woman-child, I will just grieve along with you. If that's okay with you. ~Ed In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |
