I think it’s working."
Today, that last memory takes on new meaning.

She was great at defying expectation.
She managed to grow very old and somehow, not old enough.
We’ll miss you, Betty.

Now you know the secret" (viaTwitter).
It might be White’s humor and optimize that get us through, however.
Everybody spoils you like mad and they treat you with such respect because you’re old.
Little do they know, you haven’t changed.

As we mournBetty White, we should also be sure to look on with optimism to the future.
We are so happy she shared her joy with us yet she will be missed.
