Nancy Mattox

Hi Nancy. Ollie remains the biggest thrill and joy in my life. Last week, I was putting him to bed, and I told him that I loved him "Always and forever, and forever and always," the same phrase I use every night. I like how it expresses infinity, all the time before we were both born and all the time after I, and eventually him, are gone. I also like how it suggests a palindrome even though it´s not. (Did I ever tell you that I love palindromes?) something about completeness and...

Hi Nancy. I miss you and still think of the kids we knew at GSS, wondering where they are now, what has become of them now that many of them are adults. I wish I could show you pictures of my son Ollie and tell you stories about his antics. He´s beautiful, brilliant and hilarious. You would love him. I haven´t been to New Orleans in awhile but listen to WWOZ when I can to stay connected to the music. Miss you. With love, Andrew.

I´m thinking about you and all the work we did together at GSS, remembering your devotion, spirit and care. I wish we could talk now, Nancy, commiserate and swap stories and laugh. I miss you. With love, Andrew.

I think about you often. Miss you.

I miss you. The hat you gave me sits on a bookshelf in my office. I see it everyday. With love, Andrew.
