A GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE OF ONE FAMILY

Fri Jun 17–22 1:15 p.m.

I dare to expose my personal life in the expectation that perhaps some of you can relate. It may be only a benefit to the writer to tell this story.

On May 12, 2022, I wrote a little essay here simply titled “Death”. It is the story of my best friend, Bill Wilson, coming here to my daughter’s home in Bryan, Texas, to die. He is now in the process, finally, of completing his journey.
