Alive With No Regrets
When my family departed here earlier this evening my brother’s wife remarked in passing, “I’m so glad you’re not dead.”
I could only reply, “Me too. It does free up the senses, doesn’t it?”
She looked at me and smiled and then they closed the door and it was another day here, just me here alone with my cat. Still not dead yet.
