"I have something for you." was the first thing Alice said
as she walked into the office.I hadn't seen her in some time.
Her frail hands reached down into her bag, trembling ever
so. She pulled out a large white envelope and set it on the
counter. "Here, take a look." I opened the envelope and
saw a large photograph of Elizabeth Taylor. She had just
passed away a few weeks back. She was in middle age
looking like the beauty that had mesmerized the world.
"I took that picture in 1982." I turned it over and saw
her writing on the back : LA, Ahmanson Theatre 1982.
"The picture is as old as I am," I said. She laughed in the
way that grandmothers can. A laugh that is a mixture of
love, age and hard earned wisdom. "Thanks for giving
me this and thinking of me Alice." I stood up from
behind my desk and gave her a hug. Anyone would be
happy to have someone like her in their lives.
