Thank you for your interest. <br /><br />Tish was definitely One Of A Kind. It was so sad that she had to leave her home the way she did, and heartbreaking to watch her brief visits there. I so wanted things to turn out differently, almost every step of the way, but it was not to be.<br /><br />She had, for the most part, a wonderfully satisfying life as far as I know of it. I'm sure she was grateful.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-44618826167504625422015-11-13T19:45:58.336-05:002015-11-13T19:45:58.336-05:00As a relative newcomer to your blog, I went back t...As a relative newcomer to your blog, I went back to read the other interesting posts in the series about Tish. I loved the fact that she brought blueberries for you to make your own pie and I can almost hear her saying "I don't do pies."<br /><br />Interesting, isn't it? How our lives become entrenched with others with whom we cross paths. People we know only casually but who for some reason touch us with their lives. And so we grieve for them when they are gone.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-1832649565624224812015-11-13T10:02:06.184-05:002015-11-13T10:02:06.184-05:00Ally Bean--As soon as that furniture started comin...Ally Bean--As soon as that furniture started coming out of that house a year or two ago, I started feeling uneasier. It was as if Tish and that house were linked. I know it sounds ridiculous and superstitious. And 93 is a wonderfully long life. <br /><br />Anyway, I am glad that you found the story satisfying to read. I hope it has one final chapter, and that it is a happy one of a lovely new tenant in her house.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-28483041110714374452015-11-13T09:57:44.238-05:002015-11-13T09:57:44.238-05:00Bug--What a lovely thing to say.

She seemed ageless. When I heard she was 93, it seemed impossible to me although of course The Math was inarguable. I marvel constantly at how fast the time goes.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-48247382181631481402015-11-13T09:52:48.393-05:002015-11-13T09:52:48.393-05:00Rose--Thank you.

I don't know. <br /><br />I am glad that the house will be sold rather than rented, which is usually the case around here with these homes left behind by elderly parents whose children are already older, married, and settled into homes of their own. The market is difficult, and these colonials have one full bathroom upstairs; usually that's it. A tough sell.<br /><br />I'm glad that you have had nice neighbors to ease the transition from the neighbor you miss. I am hopeful for nice neighbors as well.<br /><br />As to the flowers...I don't think so. They were her signature and not mine.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-53883815598516766152015-11-12T23:59:33.645-05:002015-11-12T23:59:33.645-05:00I'm so sorry, Nance, I know how fond you were ...I'm so sorry, Nance, I know how fond you were of Tish. Perhaps you could keep some flowers on your porch, or inside, in her memory? We had a neighbor several years ago that I liked a lot, and she died from complications of Lupus. It was horrible. Two families have come into her house since then (it's a rental, so turnover is higher than if it had to be sold). Both families have been really nice and lovely, and do lighten the burdon of having had her there, and then not there, if you know what I mean.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-54110524086859058292015-11-12T20:57:14.146-05:002015-11-12T20:57:14.146-05:00I'm so sorry; how kind of Rick to tell you the...I'm so sorry; how kind of Rick to tell you the way he did and how kind of you to remember Tish and how she touched your life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312958345507812508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-89975298092860129752015-11-12T20:47:43.044-05:002015-11-12T20:47:43.044-05:00Wow - 93!
