Guilt and Regret
27.
persuading him
to go into respite care
"Over my dead body," he shouts
but it will be over my sister's,
I tell him, the tears running freely
because she's here every day
exhausted before she even goes to work.
And we're bth right,
because he's dead a week later
and my last conversation with my father
was an argument.
