Modern memento

[mme_hardy]

I signed into Yahoo Chat today for the first time in years. In my contacts list was the name of a much-admired friend who died last month. I can't bear to delete that name; it would be like deleting her. But the name is a throbbing tooth every time I glance over it.

The oldest emails in my Gmail inbox (ported from Yahoo) are from my grandmother and my aunt, who both died in 2004.

I google chat with my sister and husband; I don't have a smartphone and couldn't safely carry one around at work anyway (without getting some kind of dorky holster - theft risk) but I am always on a computer, so it works for me. mr. flea has something installed on his iPhone to make it work.
