    Darby Looking in Water with Little Person by Sabrina Cameron, 2012

    A few weeks ago, my 5-year-old niece, Sabrina Cameron, came home from school with this drawing of Darby.   She said she was inspired by a story she heard.  My sister, Sheila, thinks it was Aesop’s fable about the dog and his reflection.  I wonder if it was Narcissus.  Either way, I wanted to share it today, on Darby’s birthday.

    He would have been 18.  I miss him every day.  But it makes me smile (OK, and shed a few tears) that he continues to inspire great artists like Sabrina.

    Happy Birthday, Darby.

  • Happy Sweet 16 Darby!

    Thank you, sweet boy, for making my life magical.  And thank you, Sheila, for capturing that magic with your camera.  Happy Birthday, Darby!
