life in slow motion

tell me how to tell the story of eleventh hour breaths, the counted rise and fall of a dying chest. tell me how to describe hospice, and sitting in the room in which you know your friend will soon die. help me find the words. because i don't know how to honor this gift of handholding through the ultimate transition. and in the moment i admitted i have lost my faith, he asked me to pray.

One letter at a time can be very cathartic. Maybe begin with the story of how you met. and please remember to update us on Moe.

the words you've given more than gift us. how else to describe the experience of being deeply aware of Life in one moment that truly counts?
