The Way It is

Tuesday Sep 09 2008

By Irene Noble 
My mother, my friend, died when she was 91. I miss her still, yet it was eighteen years ago.  She was a beautiful, elegant, stylish lady.

This story was submitted by Cindy La Ferle over at Cindy's Home Office.

Until I met Sylva B., I rarely socialized with 'older people' outside my family circle. When I wasn’t working, I hung out with friends my own age. At least 40 years my senior, Sylva was the silver-haired personnel manager who interviewed me for my first job in reference book publishing in Detroit. I was 25 then, and desperate to get my career off the ground. Applying for an entry level position, I was required to pass a typing test and a two-hour literature exam. I was so nervous during the session that my fingers froze at the keys and I flunked the typing test on the first try.[Read More]
