In our solitude I truly grasped that Will and I would forever be intertwined—not only with the rest of the world, but within me. That’s how I measure how important something is. I look ahead to when I’m on my deathbed, and if something is important enough, if it has touched me with profound intimacy, I believe it will float to the surface when I’m preparing to die. When that time comes, I know I will be visited by memories of Will.
