I do not want to create a voice for Cokie. She had her own. My mom’s Bichon Frise passed away in September, and I do not want to be cute or clever at the expense of my mother’s emotions, or the memory of our dear pet and friend.

On a ride back to Beaufort from Jacksonville, FL, Ms. Goldberg asked me what it is to “have an old friend from faraway.”

PROLOGUE
True story. Back in the days before iPads, smart phones, social networking or the basic concept of a second Star Wars trilogy, I spent most of a summer working at an iconic seafood restaurant on the Grand Strand.

So, last week I’m on my back deck, beating a rug into submission with a broom. It’s another splendid fall afternoon, but I hardly notice. I’m too busy thinking of all the articles I have to edit and all the bills in the mail pile and all the homework Amelia will soon be dragging through the door – and her big science project that’s due next week, and the dance shoes she needs, and when’s her next play practice, again? – and I’m wondering if I remembered to sign that paperwork and return those emails, and I’m beating that dusty rug to a pristine pulp… when all of a sudden, a magnificent orange butterfly comes gliding my way.
