I find myself wondering, as I collect these stories of people’s last days together- I consider what the story will be for us. When will our last day be? So far in the future that my hands may be too arthritic, my voice to old and mind gone. Or maybe I’ll have died still with you and the story will be yours to tell. Or maybe it is close upon us and I would rather die than to try and tell it, for it to be immortalized in words on a page- where anyone could stumble upon it and possibly live my pain.
