Loading ...I saw her once for about five seconds when we passed on a mall escalator and never forgot her . Ten years later a colleague at work began pestering me to meet his wife’s cousin , after I had returned from a year long assignment out of state . I put him off every month from January to August , when I finally gave up and agreed to meet his wife’s cousin . The cousin was Darla . It was an instant take on both sides , and we spent the next twenty years together until I lost her to a botched relatively simple hospital procedure . ( She was on coumadin and had a small blockage leading to her heart . A balloon angioplasty resulted in internal bleeding which was not noticed until several hours later when her heart stopped due to blood loss .)
Who could forget this ?
