[GoneGirl]

Annie, I could have written what you did myself. I have had moments of deeply emotional trauma in the recent past mourning for all that was missed and the opportunities lost forever. But I also realize it was also a life with much good. It is what it is, the cards we were dealt. Now we play these last hands with that much more intent to make the most of what is left before the shoe is empty, don't we?

Yes, we (I hope I may speak for you and Clara too) must be for ever grateful that whatever we missed, we were fortunate as well and not always too late for everything, and that we can look forward to what is still to come

Annie, I expressed those very thoughts in an e-mail to my mother this morning. So very true.
