Honorable Mention Though we travel in separate realms, but never really apart Michael MV(Michael Virga) She watched the towers fall from her hospice bed. Maybe with the morphine drip, it really was like a movie-dream for her. So as not to force us to a funeral during the holidays, she left before the first round of turkey. I had brought her a ruby bracelet for Christmas, but carpe diem turned it into her birthday gift. "Miss Ruby, I bet you don't even own a ruby bracelet, and anyone with a name like that should." "No, I don't, Michael," she quietly responded as I locked it around her lambchop wrist, thinking "Will it slip off"? I'm there in her parlor of collectibles, which especially showcased her love of Elvis: The King with his blue suede shoes and the joy he had brought her, Miss Ruby with the only ruby bracelet that had ever adorned her, And I, on the 16th of every August, while the media's recalling the anniversary of Elvis Presley's passing with "Long Live the King, I'm remembering it as the day Miss Ruby was born. |
