πŸ’” Oh, TC. What an honor? To become the memory, the place holder and the diarist for another, for a childhood friend and for a wife. An honor in one way. A huge responsibility as you get to create the tapestries that others get to see, to rely upon in order to recall, and to keep each of those lives alive and true in other's memories for a few more years. You will do this well, I think. Not sure many of us would volunteer to do so as fewer of us have the skills and empathy needed to do so. Roz and Juarte are fortunate in you.

Understand that. Privilege, was another term given how rarely those who try feel they succeed but do not walk away or regret having invested the time and personal energy to be the living memory. TC's writings suggest he is one of those rare talents to succeed.
