A Short Story
By Tom Reddock
Only moments before he died my father looked at me and said,
“I like your shirt.”
I never knew what he meant by that.
The End

The 1931-1932 Diary of Anais Nin
“You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book(Lady Chatterley, for instance), or you take a trip, or you talk with Richard, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom(when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this(or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death.”

On the verge of death it's a testimony to someone's character that they're able to say something decent, and off hand, reminding us that the miracle is common to us all, and can be verbalized casually.
I wish I had a witty comment, but man, you made me laugh out loud!!!
I just knew that if you saw this you would crack up. We share the same sense of humor.
