but i don't think i'd be that happy floating around doing not much of anything or seeing anyone. maybe that was a good thing for him but i plan on seeing my parents, friends, and animals i loved. a reunion with them would be joyous --it would be "heaven" to me. (and maybe for billy, his heaven was exactly what he was doing.) i liked how she "heard" him and started writing down what he said. i loved the "ain't no sunshine without the son" business that she first thought was "sun."
thanks for reading it.
