who died on this day, not long before I left L.A.. she lived next to me for a couple of years. nice, smart, good sense of humor, not very old. but unfortunately unhealthy, overweight, seemingly isolated. didn't get exercise, drove everywhere, may have smoked, didn't clean much.
in truth i really didn't know much about her. i thought i overheard her once, talking to some one on the phone, saying that she wasn't happy, didn't know what to do. of course hotlines (if that's what it was) are often a desperate resort. this is one of those times you look back: you wish you could have done more.
and that includes her end: she fell sick, was even more immobile. i think a friend was coming over to help. i remember one time though that she didn't seem to have water on a very hot summer L.A. day so i got her some. then i went to the desert, to my job, soon after. i came back and she was deceased. i wondered what happened, if she gave up, didn't take care etc.
as usual i try to learn from passings of others. and wish there was more, to do, for her etc. hope for better in future.
