for remembrance's sake

A few weeks ago, I was watching Chasing Amy for the first time in a number of years. Fantastic movie, probably my favorite Kevin Smith flick. In the very early going, there's an exchange that I often missed or overlooked:

Fan of the Comic: "It's like Bill and Ted meets...Cheech and Chong!"

Holden: "Yeah, I kinda like to think of them as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern meet Vladamir and Estragon."

When I first watched the movie, that was something I had to look up. But thanks to one person, I have now read both Waiting For Godot and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, multiple times. When I heard that line this time, it made me reflect anew...on many things. And then I remembered this (pictured). It is the only thing this person ever gave to me. The only tangible evidence of their presence in my life. But I'm better for having known this person. New things move within me because of their influence. And for that, I am grateful.

I do this, in remembrance of her.
