Coroner's report

I was finally called by the office of the coroner last week--14 months after Faye's death, with the final report on the cause of death.

It was natural, of course, and everything I actually suspected. Now I'm dealing with regret, just slight but regret nonetheless, that I could have and should have dragged her to the hospital that last night.

But the past is the past. She didn't want to go.

And so I press on.
