I’ve never read or heard this story before. The wife’s voice is particularly poignant. And in our age of beauty products, plastic surgery, and youthening supplements I can’t help wonder what NH would make of it all if he were alive today. Splendidly tragic and well read. Bravo.
Thank you, Darla. Thanks for the comment. It was a fun read. I wonder too. I have to think NH wouldn’t be surprised that nothing has changed... the glimpse of immortality in the present moment... the now that is always within our grasp that few of us seem to notice.
