The best place to start is that night. That was the last night I was young. The last time I had that feeling of invincibility. That I was physically and mentally strong enough, and if I needed help, I would always have Lyndon by my side. But life isn’t about what we expect. What we plan for. Life is an experience we can’t always predict. I never imagine that moment. His arms over my shoulder, telling me he how proud he was. He started regaling about how far we made it together and that I would go even further than he would. At first, I didn’t understand where it was all coming from, but I suspected something was up. Something about how his hand gripped my shoulder. The tone of his voice was too cheery. My suspicion grew when he toasted us loudly. That was more than his usual theatrics. I asked him what was wrong. I thought he had too much to drink, and he did. Then he told me with a smile that he was going to turn in his sash. That his eyesight was getting worse. I felt betrayed. All this time I believe that we started together, and we would end it together.
