To Karen and Randi,
I am so sorry to hear about Sylvie.
She was the first woman I met, back in the 60’s, who really lived in the moment. The world caught up with that whole concept just recently! I have wonderful memories of her taking me shopping when I was 13 or so, downtown, and letting me wear her lipstick and high heels. Oh, I loved every moment she had time for me. Sylvie was ten years older, an exotic beautiful cousin that came into my life at the very best time. She taught me to fly on my own, and I have, ever since. Later she taught me how to love my own child well, and unconditionally. Sylvie said to me once, when I get old, I’m going to wear purple and carry a big stick.
Well, I am old and carrying on her legacy, here in poky Qualicum Bay. Brenda
