The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride

by Joe Siple

“I just realized life’s not worth a pile of beans if you don’t live it. So I started living it.”

“Someone dies—someone you love, now—it’s like they take a little piece of you with them when they leave. Like you lose a little part of yourself the moment they stop breathing.”

“Without love, our lives would be nothing,” he says. “The world would be nothing. Without love, we might as well not even exist.”
