Hand in hand, your family and some friends stand in a circle around your father. Ten seconds have passed since his last breath, and you\u2019re counting, wondering if it was his last breath or his last breath.

The memory blooms in your head, something like a flower or a drop of ink expanding in water. | 2015 by Nate Southard. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
