| Noreen at a party in the Bronx thrown by yours truly with ample assist from my late dad. Circa 1979 |
So long ago all this was. And it seemed it would all last forever. We were twenty somethings, not that long out of college and staking our places in the world. I offer this to the next generation---that old saw, but true one--CARPE DIEM! It does go so darn fast.
The people I met at college and law school, they have sustained me through the years. Noreen was one of those I was so lucky to know for many of them. When I first moved to California, she called my dad regularly to be sure he was all right (he moved here 8 months later).
She used to say in her notes to her friends, particularly those of us who left New York for other climes--"Miss you desperately".
It is one year in a few days since Noreen died. She was a kind, loving, smart friend. A whole bunch of us miss HER desperately. And won't forget her.
She was, by the way, a good writer. I have kept the link to her blog on mine and I would say, take a look. Sounds of the Past. It keeps her among us. And Facebook. I love Facebook for that, among other reasons.
Happy Thanksgiving Noreen. Commend us to God who no doubt keeps you close.
