KayLynn Deveney / Edith and Len
March 14 Len was very quiet today. When I went to tell him goodbye he seemed weak and dispirited. I asked what was wrong and he said, “Nothing is wrong.” I kissed him. Edith followed me out into the hall under the pretence of looking for Bonnie, the cat. When we were outside she said Len hadn’t been doing well at all. She said his thoughts were wandering a lot. She said he told her that when he went he would try to go as quietly as possible. She cried. I hugged her, and as my head leaned against hers I could hear all the small sounds of the nursing home through her bone-induction hearing device. I listened as we hugged, and she held my head close for a moment.
