If you regularly read this blog, you’ll know I sometimes ask Laura: ‘Send me something lovely!’ And invariably something fun happens. Today I was walking home from the subway and asked Laura to surprise me. I started singing ‘Pennies From Heaven’ in hopes of finding lots of pennies. I guess I was trying to force a response. But Laura won’t be commanded and nothing happened. So I forgot my request until I Skyped my parents in England this afternoon. And then I received the most extraordinary surprise. There was a sweet Skype message from Laura (from Tootie to Tweets) made on October 6,2013. It somehow got lost in our computers (although I Skype regularly and don’t understand why I never saw it before). But it popped up today for the first time. What bliss…

Oh, Lucie, this is the most wonderful of love letters to pop up. And lovely for me as well as it is really a very solid ‘hit’ of Laura, having never met her. When my sister died (Kashmir, road accident while traveling) 33 years ago, I got her camera 6 months later… long story which I can share with you sometime, but it was her last roll of film, and then a year later amongst her things a stray roll of film taken just before she set off on her world journey and was visiting friends and my other sister, and then ANOTHER roll of film found a year after that. A roller coaster connection, though by the last roll it was almost too much. I still miss her terribly. We would have grown old together. You have my heart. Much love, Jenny

Aw Jenny, so good to see you on the blog. I remember you saying how you found a roll of your sister’s pictures. I didn’t realize it was 3 rolls spaced out over a couple of years. They certainly have a way of comforting us via the little unexpected things left behind. I can’t believe I didn’t find this video of Laura before. I’ve been sorrowful since she passed that I didn’t take video of her. And now here she is…on video!

YES!! The sweet honest directness. Couldn’t have been more perfect. I also loved the bit at the end when she puts on her spex to find out how to turn it off. That was so Laura.
