The Eulogy I Didn’t Give
I hope when I die, if anyone is moved to say anything, give a eulogy, that people are honest about me. They might say that I gave and gave, but that giving was my hubris. I didn’t take care of myself like I could have (or hopefully by then, that will have changed)….that I could […]
