Life On Life’s Terms
The next day, a pale, distraught Randy told us Abigail had died
in her sleep the night before.
I was stunned. Abigail had thought she had about a year to
live.
In the week since her diagnosis, she had eaten her first taco
from a truck, asked someone for a date, demanded a raise, used a public
restroom, argued with someone online, came to work without the top button of
her blouse buttoned, and driven ten miles an hour over the speed limit.
I was sad, but happy she’d at least tried a few new things,
lived a little more. I wondered what else had been on her list.
The best I could make of the situation was to follow her
example, live a little more.
Today I will live a little more.
