A Perfect Brightness of Hope by Genevieve Arnold
I’ve always had hope, not wishes or desires, but hallelujah hope. The kind that thrusts you out of bed in the morning. Since my earliest years, hope has been my companion. She introduced us.

I wasn’t ready (is anyone?) Death showed up breathless and raring to go like it was late for a very important date. Feeling sick on Sunday; gone on Friday. Not necessarily a surprise. She was sick: leukemia.
