gerisullivanMay 12th was Louise Katheryne Sullivan's birthday. If I'm remembering the year correctly, she would have turned 49 today if all of the considerable efforts to treat her depression had yielded better results than they did. I'm pretty sure she was a '59 baby....
What I know for certain is that she was a wonderful human being and I was blessed to share friendship and family ties with her for what turned out to be far too short a number of years. Thanks to Louise, getting lost while driving rarely upsets me. Thanks to Louise, I marvel at the power of thunderstorms. Thanks to Louise, I know and am friends with Sandy Williams, who has also served as my attorney since I moved to Massachusetts.
Thanks to Louise, I knew...Louise. And that was treasure enough. The 27 years since she died have been a long strange trip, indeed. Strange and wondrous. I have carried her in memory and in my heart every step of the way and trust I will continue to do so through everything still ahead.
