Obituary: Recollections During Shirley Dickersons final weeks, she would rake her creased fingers through a curly brown Yorkie no longer there. Her hands would tremble and hover, and then she would begin to fidget with a gold ring whose engraving had long since worn away. **One day... she would whisper to no one in particular, to the remnants of lost loves, to the essence of them hanging in the air around her. She didn actually believe she would see them one day, and yet she told herself she did. When her mind wandered off, she could still feel the warmth of their memories. Unlike in youth when the future raced toward her in a blaze of potential light while memories stayed behind her like stale relics, in her elder years those distant recollections enveloped her and brought her comfort. The future becomes a rather dull affair once you realize that it exists in such a painfully finite quantity. Tomorrow may be another day, but yesterday is far more intriguing. On 16th, 2015, Shirley Dickerson found peace as a member of the beautiful and warmly remembered past. Recently, Shirley had found herself killing time in the way that it was killing her, slowly and impassively. The next meal or the next episode of Downton Abbey were more engaging for her than productivity, though what being productive meant at her age isn entirely clear. Each new day felt like a repetition of the last; each day was a seesaw between wanting to remember and wanting to forget. The in-between parts were filled with the fictional stories found in books and movies and an invested interest in the stories of her children and grandchildren. Fiction and reality tended to blur together in Shirleys final days. Her smirking caricature sculpture of Rhett Butler sat next to her husbands ashes, and Toto wagged his tail in Dorothys arms next to the fresh urn of her lost buddy. The happiest times of her life also rested upon that shelf of tchotchkes and ashes, ready to be looked upon and cherished at her leisure. The dead become a bit like characters in movies, deliberately crafted in our minds and pieced together from scraps of truth and imagination. Shirley had no grandiose dreams of pearly white gates and eternal bliss after her encroaching death. All she sought in the afterlife was to lie down in a nest of her memories and let them vividly play around her, removed from the body that had done nothing but hold her down for the last few decades. Her beautiful mind has now escaped that failing body and she has joined those memories she holds so dear. Before her time came, Shirley considered seeking that dream by eating a pint of ice cream, neglecting to inject her insulin, and then lying down for her final sleep. The potential dreams of that sleep of death did not give her pause, for she had worn her mortal coil for as long as any human can be reasonably expected to. For seventy years she extracted as much joy from her life as she could. For the past twenty she indolently watched the tendrils of her family tree unfurl around her, giving herself the space to relax as one does in a well-earned lazy weekend after an exceptionally long week. We consider ourselves fortunate and truly lucky to have had the pleasure of crossing paths with Shirley and her companions. The true nature of her kind and loving soul shone through during every visit with her. The soft welcoming touch of her hand and the smile on her face inspired those around her, and a quick gaze over the nearby shelf aroused fond memories and emotions of cherished times and voids never to be filled. We are lucky, privileged, and forever grateful for Shirleys companionship as a mother, a friend, and our grandmother Honey. ninety years, one learns to look the Grim Reaper in the eyes with a cocked head and a sly smile. There is little to be afraid of when the majority of what one holds dear lies carefully protected by the curtain of the past. Shirley felt little sorrow, for she knew that she had lived a fortunate life, but neither did she feel much excitement. She yawned, covering her mouth with the back of a wrinkled hand, and closed her eyes to welcome what dreams may come. May Shirleys dreams be sweet as Honey, and may we always remember the legacy she has left. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations, in memory of Shirley, to an animal rescue of your choice. |
