my half-sister KT wrote the most beautiful tribute to her (and my fairy god)mother, sydney.
read it { here }
i celebrated her today by lunching with other syd godchildren as they had auditions for big broadway shows.... knowing full well that she orchestrated mine.
how proud she must be of all of us.
today, i miss watching moonstruck under a full moon on the back lawn and
learning how to make grilled cheese sandwiches on an ironing board.
....and always, sunset breaks.

Thank you for posting this. As crazy as it sounds, the sunset breaks had slipped my mind and after reading your post and KT's post, I'm left here crying. Both for my theater mom and my real mom. Before my mom died, she decreed she would occasionally be in charge of sunsets and when we saw a good one, we should be sure to thank her. And I'm so grateful to be reminded by sweet Syd that I need to take a break to look for the sunsets. Thanks, Natalie. I know how much you must miss her.
I can't tell you how perfect I think this picture is. My funny mom sitting on her swing under her tree with messy hair from having just woken up. Kissing Kiste, her favorite hairy grand-dog (may she rest in peace) with the porch lights of our home glowing in the back ground.
I like to think of all everything that appears in this photo having moved on to a safer place where time holds still.
I know this may be creepy but we had a little fruit and cheese picnic at the grave last night. Wish you could have joined us.
Thanks for loving my mom.
kiss.
