TT: But not forgotten
Some things you don't get over. My old friend
Nancy LaMott
died sixteen years ago today. That's a long time, yet I still feel a pang of unappeasable sorrow whenever I think of her, and in particular of her painful last days, which she faced with uncommon courage.
Not surprisingly, I prefer to remember the happy days of our brief acquaintance, for it was full of warmth and laughter. Though we only knew one another for the year and a half before she died, I've never felt closer to a friend. She was a great artist and a dear person whom I loved with all my heart.
This is something that I wrote about Nancy for The Wall Street Journal in 2005. I still feel the same way, and always will.
