The Last Time Is Usually Just A Tuesday
There's a line you've probably never heard, and it's the truest thing I know about time: the last time is usually just a Tuesday. You almost never get a warning. The last time your kid reaches for your hand. The last time you sit at a table with someone who's humming a song they don't know…
