“I guess I'm telling you this because I don't want you to have to ask yourself if that was the last time you'll see a loved one. There's no hospital bed for you. Even if they find one, there's no one to care for you.”

It's looking like we've turned the corner at my house, so I'm going to tell you a story about love and a pandemic. It starts two weeks ago Monday. I taught class that morning, but by lunch I knew something was up. By afternoon, I knew I was sick.

You know who is a really great writer? My brother. Also, you want to know who twists my arm to give away most of my money to charity? My brother. You want to know who thinks as hard about how to make a positive impact as anyone I've ever met? My brother, who fucking kicks ass.
