I have to write about something I hope I’ll never have to do. The thing is, eventually I’ll have to do everything I can think of or it will at least be very probable. So, it’s kind of a moot point. For example, I hope I’ll never have to say good bye to my dog. But, unless I die first, this will happen no matter what.
Related to this is the fact that I hope I’ll never have to bury my husband. It’s really weird actually, because I can clearly remember thinking that at the moment you really fully commit to another person, you’ll eventually have to say good bye (or it can be the other way around). There is this song by Iron & Wine called Naked as We Came which is about this moment.
The same goes for any children I might have in the future. I hope I’ll never have to bury them, either.
I guess saying good bye to people I love is just something I don’t particularly like to do.
