Behind Friendly Lines

Look closely and you’ll see that Kay, who is turning 86 this month, has written her own name on her birthday calendar.


I love that Kay keeps this calendar close at hand, but I have from the start been a little spooked by the way she keeps it up to date: When a friend dies, Kay draws a line through his or her name.

Kay has a different take.

This way, Kay says, she thinks about each of her friends on their birthday.

A line simply reminds her not to send a card.
