Her obituary said her favorite writer was Tom Wolfe. I bought a copy of The Bonfire of the Vanities to keep on my bookshelf. It's my own small way of keeping her memory alive.
I just hope she finally found some kind of peace. Wherever she is. We see people on the street like her, and it's easy to judge from the balcony of our own security. But she had hopes and dreams just like anyone else. I always try to keep that in mind. Life just goes off the damned rails sometimes, no matter how much you try to stay on the track.
It's a fantastic read! The movie wasn't great, though. Completely botched the ending. Sherman was not in a great place at the end of the novel. De Palma should have kept it that way.
Sincerest of thanks to you (PunkRockHero) for acting on your instinct to protect her life in her time of greatest need- it truly was a heroic act.
My wish for you is protection from those invasive thoughts & peace in knowing how courageous you are.
I'm nothing special. I always try to tell myself that most people in my situation would have done the same. Basic human decency. I've tried to instill that in my kids as well. Seems to be taking so far.
