she burned
the candle on both ends

undercut herself to such a degree
that when her illness reared its ugly head she couldnt halt it reverse it it diminished debilitated her swept her away like ash before the bristle of a minutehand
irretrievable
I am mindful
You are, not a soul’s
. .
. . Being
Okay. she grimacedhe displeased her Being. Few are as you.
An only because I have timehave the luxury
I don take it for granted
No, no you don’t, you’re always deeply
grateful.
Although it’s come at a brutal
cost.
he noddedhis
eyes shined
she looked away
I have to say,
sometimes you seem boastful.
Which is
unlike me
It is, yes.
Im not boastful
In those moments I was being provocativewas trying to gall you trying anything I coud think
of
aware
wary
mindful
minefullness
minefield
Youll excuse me if I am brazen abrasive
You wrote in your text insisted I THINK Eleven times
Youre obviously unaware of my mindfulness If you had implied otherwise to either of
my girls they woud have set you straight They woud have told you youre wrong turned you
about patted you on the butt an sent tha notion packing There there
Am I correct
Had you come up in conversation .
.
.
. Which I believe is unlikelyyour conversations centering on your individual relationships with them They knew better They woudnt speak for me make assumptions
If you came up it was likely in
the tenor of How’s your Dad? as they’d about mine.
As I thought Thank you
Therefore Youre oblivious
Oblivious. That’s strong.
Although
I . . . I suppose I am.
An supposing you are you must realise how audacious it was to tell me
to think
Eleven times
I replied The past is prologue
A Shakespeare line
for Antonio in The Tempest Actually he wrote
Whats past is prologue
Prologue is an
event or action that leads to another event or action
I asked youI assume you looked it
up for own gratification for your own sake For my sake For the utter
difference in the lives weve lead
For
your less experience than mine
I did.
Good
For the thinks you made I am happy to
address them point by point
I woud have urged you to call

error
We can beginning I wrote out your text transcribed it You have it before you
No.
No
I don’t want to discuss it.
No Wha do you suggest
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Ignore it
Dealing with it may cause a more difficult
situation
You’re known to be difficult.
Because I ask questions
Because your questions cut
to the bone. You are not kind.
I am not Im not inclined to build a worthless house of
cards
Then please, can we not discuss
it.
Tha woud satisfy you
I’ve thought about it, I’ve
thought about it very hard.
Satisfy
isn’t the right word. But yes.
You prefer to pursue it?
You asked we wont No
Lastly I don think
