ME: Ants – exciting news! The guy who has been working tirelessly to help me get the blog into an editable format is coming over Wednesday morning to figure out a few final glitches. After that I will be able to go mad changing 1st person to 3rd person, if need be; delete any images (but save them for later): and go full steam ahead with what will probably now be a novel.
ANTHONY: It’s good to hear from you after your long silence, Jules, but I have no idea what you’re referring to. Also, who is this guy you are raving about?
ME: I’m not raving and he’s my friend’s husband, Ants! And I’m talking about the manuscript that you said you approved of yesterday. Is dementia common in Heaven?
ANTHONY: Oh that, yes, I see. By the way, Jules, sarcasm doesn’t suit you.
ME: What? And what do you mean, “oh that”? I’m writing about you and have been for over ten years. You could at least be grateful, Ants.
ANTHONY: Deeply, Jules.
ME: Sarcasm doesn’t suit you, Ants.
ANTHONY: Are we having an argument, Jules?
ME: No, yes, no, well, maybe?
ANTHONY: Where I am now there are no arguments, so having an argument with you would be bliss.
ME: In that case, I actually do have a few old bones to pick, Ants.
ANTHONY: Bring it on, Jules.
ME: I miss our banter, Ants.
ANTHONY: Thanks for remembering not to forget me, Jules.
aww, that last line –
Delightful.
Lovely
What a poignant and beautiful way to keep memory alive
