Papa Bill
Wow. What a post.
But the whole time, I had one big question on my mind. One that was too big and bold to ask.
But when I saw him drifting asleep, I knew it was my last chance. So I did:
“What’s it like to know you’re going to die soon?”
His eyes lit up! His face lit up! He said, “It’s wonderful! It’s the most natural thing of all. Every baby born is going to die. Everything else in my life has been great, so I’m sure this will be, too. It’s exciting!”
He started drifting, this time with a smile, so I quietly got up to go.
