Mount Mary offered me a contract to assume the department chair now that Professor Gilfoyle is gone.
I dunno. I’m still thinking that over.
For now I am content - every morning snug under these tattered blankets – to hear the birds sing and the squirrels run up and down that big old pine tree just outside the weathered window with the green peeling paint.
Just to hear Bill, that old steam train, snuffling in his sleep.
To feel Katelynn next to me.
To know that we beat the Angel of Death one more time.
