Deeply seeing everything

Standing on the corner of Bedford Park Boulevard by Bronx Science in 1968 and beginning to realize who Carole was.
If you could say one more thing to Carole, what would you say?
Hey Candy!
What else would you like to say?
Dear Jeff, Thank you for allowing me to share your wonderful and thoughtful tribute to your Mom. Those photos are amazing. I remember seeing those crazy 1960’s stripped slacks in one of the photos and recall your Mom playing that guitar! It seemed so large for her. I am so glad to learn that you had been playing Judy Collins’ music for her. I know your Mom felt a very special closeness to Judy and had met her once after the accident backstage and would find her way to some of her more intimate performances. It was nice to see photos of your grandfather also. Carole told me repeatedly how much she loved her father.
Finally, the grace with which you describe Carole’s life and, especially, her marriage to Gil and the devolution thereof, is profound and deeply touching to me. Your perspective, emotional maturity and your emotional generosity are amazing, as is your ability to communicate. You are so clearly gifted and your Mother’s child. Thank you, Jeff.
