The day she died, I told myself I would leave the room before she passed because I wanted to remember her as living, not dead. Realizing I'd never have the chance to change my mind, I decided at the last minute to go back into the room. She had been unconscious long before we knew she'd die that day, so there wasn't time for a conversation before she died, but I was there in the room. All that to say, I'd still give anything for more time with her. In other words, even seeing someone one more time is never enough. That's part of what hurts so much about losing a person you love that dearly. We'd all still want more. The hard part for me has been learning--and continuing to learn--that that's what makes love bittersweet, and special. My mother died from cancer when I was 18.

I hate that I missed Josh Ritter - he graduated from my college the year before I did, but it took a while for his music to really sink in and to get stuck on it. Nice post, Kate.
