A (mostly) bright and beautiful year. Here's to more of the same.
Your friend, Teri, died? Kris
No, she did not. The lady pictured was my yoga teacher Maureen. She had had breast cancer about 6 years ago but it came back while she was teaching us, all over the place. Jeanette was a friend I made when I had my summer in Abruzzo, Italy in 2008. She got multiple myeloma around the same time I got breast cancer when we returned. She was quite a bit older than me, 80 when she died. I went to Italy with my friend Teri who lived in the house I did when we were in college, in 2009 to celebrate surviving breast cancer. She lives in LA.
