Sunday, Feb. 20, 2005 - 12:42 A.M. Surgery is scheduled for March 17 to replace bad battery box in Richard's pacemaker / ICD. Just heard it: Sandra Dee is dead from complications of kidney failure. She was a lovely star and I still enjoy watching her old movies. I am standing on the seashore.
A ship spreads her sails to the morning breezes
and starts for the ocean. I stand watching her until
she fades into the horizon, and someone at my side says,
'She is gone.' Gone where? The loss of sight is in me,
not in her. Just at that moment when someone says,
'She is gone,' there are others who are watching her coming.
Other voices take up the glad shout, 'Here she comes.'
And that is what dying must be like..... I think Sandra Dee is with Bobby Darin and I hope so : )
