Prime Priority
I recalled his sweet words, his embraces, and his promises…
Memory after memory drifted through my mind, but none stirred anything in me. Compared to his "Priority above everything" for Vivian, they felt like a joke.
When the first trace of sunlight broke through the clouds, I dialed his number one last time.
This time, his phone was turned off.
I stared at the screen and scheduled a timed email to be sent to him.
Inside, I attached three things.
First, a photo of the hospital order stating, "Prioritize treatment for Vivian."
