This photo was taken at our friend Mome's 90th birthday party. I'm sorry the oldies didn't get to have a 90th birthday.
On good days, the Belle did not need her cane. Toward the end, the Captain used a walker but we knew it was a good day when all he wanted was the cane. Just like their personalities, her cane was bright and festive. His was solid wood -- no flash.
Do you remember the end of the movie "Miracle on 34th Street?" Natalie Wood finds Kris Kringle's cane in the house he has directed her to see.
This morning I was in the garage and I looked up to see the Captain's cane propped against the wall. It has to have been there for at least eight months.
There are miracles everywhere and sometimes they are simple enough to jar you. I don't think the Captain/Unabomber/Hangdog was Kris Kringle. I do think I was reminded to spend some time thinking about him today.

I love this picture of them. It is how I think of them. I remember how excited Eva was about the party. She looked beautiful & I couldnt get over how well Mike cleaned up. I remember thinking how glad I was that they went to that party.
I hope that Sergio & I will have as many years together as they did.
