I am about to cancel a party I planned for our 32nd anniversary.
Parties have been good to (and for) us this past year. Burt loved his 84th surprise birthday gathering. People interested him, and it was a lively event. He insisted I should have one, too, and was able to enjoy the crowd.
The one I’ve been planning for May seems less auspicious. There’s been a slide for him, and that includes his engagement with people.
Not celebrating our marriage with him and our friends is a loss. His decline, of course, is the bigger one.
this is our life
