I still come here frequently, like to look at the photos she took, posts on the gifts she gave, assignments she wrote, et. all. I hope that you and I can see each other for coffee or tea sometime in the near future.<br />Love,<br />EKelizabeth kesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387129716684348468.post-7002034221273234822010-03-28T21:30:26.799-04:002010-03-28T21:30:26.799-04:00I find myself thinking about Elizabeth and my last...I find myself thinking about Elizabeth and my last memories of her on Smith campus. Unfortunately, I only got to know her for a short period of time, but I remember going into her room to try and do math homework, which we both hated. I would always stay looking around her room at her collection of figures on top of her bureau etc. I still remember that look. This is an amazing site by the way. Your daughter was beautiful. May she rest in Peace.Suleica Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387129716684348468.post-64895330911029939062010-03-17T17:25:53.548-04:002010-03-17T17:25:53.548-04:00It's good to hear from you, Emma.

Again, I offer a mother's sympathy to you.<br /><br />I have a wonderful compilation of poetry called "Americans' Favorite Poems"-perhaps you know the book. This poem struck me.<br /><br />LAST POEM<br />Robert Desnos<br />Translated from the French by X.J. Kennedy<br /><br />I have so fiercely dreamed of you<br />And walked so far and spoken of you so,<br />Loved a shade of you so hard<br />That now I've no more left of you.<br />I'm left to be a shade among shades<br />A hundred times more shade than shade<br />To be a shade cast time and time again into your sun-transfigured life.<br /><br />Wishing you peace and more lovely memories,<br />ClaireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
