I was sitting alone in the dim living room when the family doctor called with unsettling urgency, changing everything.

Each sentence was a step forward, a chance to connect with her once more.

Back in the dim living room, the silence felt less oppressive.

I sat down, the clock ticking softly in the background.

My daughter’s voice echoed in my mind, a reminder that she was still with me, in her own way.
