Changes in your life often help you to reflect on the past; especially when tragedy is cause for the changes. It has been six months since Flora had the accident. Actually, we had the accident but I came out with only minor cuts and bruises. She hasn't come out yet. She lays still, the sound of machinery creating a macabre symphony in half time. More like a dirge. Once again I sit by her side in the present and I think back on our past. We have had a long one together. It has been over twenty years, but she only remembers 19 ½ of them. And if a miracle happens and she wakes up, she might not even remember those.
