Mike, that is such a lovely, touching story and you are generous to share it. I hope you'll consider copying and pasting into a new document, editing it a little and submitting it to Crow's Feet. Give it a title like "We Helped Our Neighbor Die" and a subtitle about what you learned. You write well, and I see you haven't published anything on Medium yet. This surely seems a good piece with which to start. Tag me when you do! Thanks so much for reading, and especially for sharing this.
