I envy you and your ladies' prayer group your deep and abiding association with Carol. As for me, I should've made the effort to keep in touch with her over the years -- and I could've done so through you. Why didn't I, I now wonder and rue. I was able to write her mom, Mommy Olga, and I even spoke to her overseas, to touch base and to let her know how much she meant to me. In October 2005, at my sister Lita Hamada's wake, I told Carol about my getting in touch with her mom. Carol responded in her characteristically wise and gentle manner, both facially and verbally. Why didn't I do the same for Carol? My consolation to myself is that, anyway, Carol knew how much she meant to me, my parents, and my siblings. And in her own quiet, prescient and pelucid way, she left it at that. O Carol, indeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009166658635407882noreply@blogger.com
