We haven't spoken in a long, long time and even then, we didn't agree on much. Still, I was saddened to hear that my ol' friend Victoria Jackson is suffering from medical problems that could end her life sooner rather than later. I hope, of course, this turns out to be wrong. She was sweet, she was funny, she was honest…in fact, she had the kind of honesty that sometimes got her into trouble. There's such a thing as being too honest — or at least just honest at the wrong time or place.
I'd like to think she's still sweet and funny and honest and that we could get along again. If we stayed far, far away from the topics of politics and religion, that might be possible but I doubt our paths will cross again. So I'll just think good thoughts about her and wish her only the best and a lot more years than she thinks she has.
