The mother and daughter were both so vibrant, I never saw death knocking.
Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time.It is possible to love someone from afar for many years. This is how I felt about. She was a local musician and I was a fan of her music. We both lived in the same region, so I attended many gigs. I felt I knew her, though we never met. As a fan, I watched her traverse cancer treatment. I once saw her play at the Mullumbimby Bowlo, gaunt, scarf wrapped around her head, somewhere in the midst of chemo. She brought the audience along.
Sara’s eldest daughter, Lily, had starred in a movie with John Hurt when she was 12. This was big news in small town northern NSW. Years later, I still recognised her as a teen kicking around town. A year older than my firstborn. I didn’t know Lily either, but felt she was destined for great things. A friend and I wrote a screenplay and we held her in our mind’s eye: our imaginary lead. It’s my way to fix on a familiar stranger and build a narrative. Lily was a bright light.
