Celebrating A 100-Year-Old Aged Icon, Like Fine Wine

What a life! Never would I have imagined I would have gotten here. I have faced madness, jails, institutions and death so many times over. Yeah, sure, you’ve lived almost 20 years in darkness, but that was just the beginning of what was yet to come.

You have faced such tragedy, but thank you for becoming kinder to yourself in your later years.

Thanks to the memories you learned to create, realizing that sobriety was the ultimate key to peace of mind.

Thank you for always remembering the people who made a difference in your life – all the letters you wrote to them, and all your messages and phone calls made such a difference.

Thank you for letting yourself love Giovanni so much. He didn’t want to help himself in the end, but you were able to love with him with your whole heart and he helped you experience love that was so deep that it lasted a lifetime.

And most of all thank you God for allowing me to live this long. To see everything as it became real, to see the world change from the 1980’s till now. To experience life in the fast lane, the slow lane, the crazy lane, the lanes without lines have been priceless, thank you just thank you.

You lived a good life Lynn, there will never be another like you.

Love always,

Me

Stay tuned.
