Sunset In The Rear View Mirror: Recollections Of The Flapping Edges Of Falling Night

One phone call. Your sister has passed away. With that message, my world went off its axis, my heart crumpled and darkness replaced the perpetual light in my heart that shone as lone as least as my final surviving family member lived. Mom left us in 1990 — Pam lived with and cared for her to her final breath. Dad died in 2000. He had only one-half of one lung. During my final visit to him three weeks earlier, he excused himself so he could go out and smoke a cigarette. Then, Pam went through the one-way door in June 2021, her brave and resilient body finally wearing out at age 63, following two successful breast cancer operations, MS, diabetes and nearly 20 years of taking the bus to and from work in all the kinds of nasty weather Utah can dish out. Now there is only me. I searched through my memories and hearts for some special moments, or thoughtful opinions, which I used to create this book. The thoughts range from two paragraphs to 15 pages, with most of them around a page. There are 50 components to the book. I hope you'll run over something that will make you stop and think, perhaps even strike a chord of recollections or thoughtfulness that might add to your emotional treasury. Thank you.
