I miss Gail, my friend since 1990. We walked and drove all over New England, hiking forest and beach trails, visiting museums and fairs, all this and so much more. Our discussions and differing perspectives enlarged our understanding of each other and other people´s viewpoints. I am so thankful Paul encouraged my visit with her on her last days: a beautiful person, welcoming me with shining eyes and hands that spoke what could not be said in mere words. I am missing you, dear one!
