“We quit this life without fanfare or flourish. We die as we live: simply, unadorned, and unknowing with little more true understanding of deeper meanings than that with which we entered this world.”
It was a moving article too, just the right time as I remembered the anniversary of my friend Geoff who died in similar circumstances a few years ago. I sat by his bed and held his hand, trying to think of something very deep and terribly meaningful to say….turns out just to be was enough…. for us both. And then he wasn’t.
