"What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?"
— George Eliot
Coming soon A Story about Iori's Grandfather
The title of a story is significant.
Iori's grandfather did not die.
Iori's grandfather may or may not be the hero of the story.
However, the story will celebrte a truly wonderful being.
A knowing, caring, doctor, father, grandfather, who often made house calls.
He administered palliative care until the final moment.
PFL, Partners For Life until death do us part.
He and Iori's mom spent the night on futons on either side of Iori's grandma.
We were in a Starbucks in Yokohama. Choking back tears as Chisa recalled the passage of time.
