We had spoken two hours before and you told me you were fine. You left with a twist, as you wanted. You told me you would be discharged on Monday, I was serene, I had done it, you had won. Instead, a twist. I will arrange a secular and festive funeral for you, as you wished. With lots of people, good wine and good food.
