That hospice nurse smiled at me as if I were a sweet but very silly child.
She never gave me an answer.
That silence haunts me, as do my father’s visions.
I don’t claim to have any answers, but I’ll leave you with something Helen Keller once said: “Death is no more than passing from one room to another.” I suppose we’ll all eventually find out.
Thank you to my parents, for everything.
Thank you to Jay, for everything else.
Thank you to my readers, who give me much more than I could ever give them.
Thank you to Letitia Hasser of RBA Designs, Sarah Ferguson of Social Butterfly PR, Linda Ingmanson, Wander Aguiar Photography, the amazing members of Geissinger’s Gang, and Mrs. Prouse, my sixth grade English teacher, who thought I wasn’t listening.
I was.
