Beginning

Meredith: 

When my mother's Alzheimer's got bad, I was going through her bills, and I found a notepad. Written on it were the words "Important, tell Meredith not to..." And that was it. She never finished that sentence. Tell Meredith not to what? Not to drink too much? Not to pet strange dogs? Not to give her heart away? Not to leave the sprinklers on? We didn't exactly talk a lot in those days. I regret that. I wish we had. 

Ending

I think about my mom's note all the time. Tell Meredith not to. Not to cave? Not to care? Not to give up so easily? Not to fall in love? Not to have children? Not to tell a lie? She left me wondering, what to do, what not to do. She left me knowing everything was up to me. And me alone. And she left me with no one to ask. So I would decide what she meant to write. "Tell Meredith not to be afraid." Goodbye, Mom.
