A  Year of Jackie

Everyone has the experience of anticipating that birthday—the one that jolts.  Of course, the number is different for everyone. For my sister Jackie it was 45.  I wanted to cheer her up.  So, I made a  card for her birthday—and one for each month of her 45th year.  I considered these cards (right) to be a celebration of the Jackie I know who has never changed.  At first, she was a bit taken aback. Of course, the photo I chose  (circa age 4) was not her  favorite.  But it seemed to  represent the true Jackie—confident,  glad to be here,  ready for action.   After a few months of cards (I am relentless) she started to look forward to them.  When the year was almost over—I felt like I needed to end her 45th year and  begin her 46th with—a movie: "Jackie Flies to Planet 46".
