I was talking to my friend Katie about her skill at making things pretty, and I asked her if she had ever considered being a photo stylist or an interior designer. She said she’s not confident, and I remarked that there are schools for that sort of thing. And that reminded me of, years ago, encouraging Maggie to get into graphic design.
Maggie was one of my best friends in high school. She was my movie buddy; we went to so many movies together. And I even got to go to Disney World for the first time with her family.
She was very creative, and made some really intriguing digital art. I really felt like she could have made it a career.
She was also just a wonderful person, and I always meant to visit her, to see her again after we graduated, but it never happened.
She died earlier this year.
