A Grey, Grey Day

Dearest Darling Carrie

Humourous and intelligent to the end:

Thanks for the amazing “Postcards From The Edge”, one of my favourite books.

You wrote in the Prologue:

“Brother Thomas,

You know how I always seem to be struggling even though the situation dosen’t call for it? Well I finally found a place where my struggling fits right in: the sunny Middle East. Brooding and moping dosen’t seem overdramatic in Israel or Egypt or Turkey.

Today I stood in a recently-bombed train station. I looked at the charred, twisted metal and I thought, “Finally my outsides match my insides.” Maybe I should take a tour of the world’s trouble spots and really relax. See you soon.

Love,

Sister Suzanne.”

Your struggle did not go unnoticed.

I wish I’d met you. I am so sad that you are no longer with us.

From beyond the grave Carrie is teaching me emoji-speak:

“I’m supposed to tell you to buy my book but I’m not really like that”

May the force be with you.

Read this wonderful book. It is full of delightful gallows humour. Carrie was fun!

Carrie Fisher once said:

“I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra”
