The woman places her hands in her hair.She has lost her husband of thirty-five years.
"He had such an awkward-shaped head," she says, "and I had just bought him two new hats for the summer."

Sam Samman died on May 18, 2008.
May he rest in peace...
I like to think the sun's so soft in heaven
that there's no need for hats.

My thoughts are with Colette and her family. Her dad was a nice man.
My father loved my friend "the poet." Thank you for your beautiful words.
