Getting along with him just fine now.
Tomorrow is Memorial Day. What is Memorial Day for? I think it’s to remember the men and women killed in military action. But I’m going to set aside a moment or two and make my own private memorial to a girl I never knew, a girl who indirectly caused more pain than I ever want to have to take again … a girl who I might not have gotten along with in life but who I must remember in her death … because her death touched me, even though I never knew her. Through my memory of her, her life and her death, I remember all men, women, and children who have died and lie unremembered by any living soul, ever. Call it what you will — I have to do this for my own sake as well as theirs. I think she would appreciate it. I stared for so long at the picture, trying to fathom just what it was there that I had not seen … such a rich fantasy life, m’love.
