My Life Without Me Page #8

---

and the fear...

I wanna...

I wanna touch you all the time.

I wanna take care of you,

and your girls and...

and even find your husband

a decent job and get you a house

- that doesn't have wheels and...

- Careful.

That sounds like a classic case

of falling in love.

I am in love.

I'm classically in love.

The classic husband

who's gonna be here any minute,

and the classic depression that sets

in every time you go off with him,

and the crying

and the tears and everything.

I'll go.

Though I don't want to see you

driving off with some guy, you know?

Someone you don't know.

So, I'll be watching.

Unless of course it's your husband.

Ann, I feel terrible.

I invited you over to dinner

and now you have to do all the work.

That's okay,

Ijust have to heat up this.

So I still don't understand

why you had to go to the restaurant

in your condition...

I told you I thought

I was feeling better.

A bad case of anaemia isn't something

you should take lightly. You should rest.

Yes, listen to Nurse Ann, Ann.

And you know what?

I think you could go wash your hands,

'cause this is ready.

Go wash up, girls.

- Don...

- Yeah?

- You too.

- All right, yes ma'am.

You pray that this will be

your life without you...

you pray that the girls

will love this woman

who has the same name as you,

and that your husband

will end up loving her too,

and that they can live in the house

next door, and the girls can play

doll houses in the trailer,

and barely remember their mother

who used to sleep during the day,

and take them on raft rides in bed.

You pray that they will have moments

of happiness so intense

that all of their problems

will seem insignificant in comparlson.

You don't know who or what

you're praying to, but you pray.

You don't even regret the life

that you're not gonna have,

because by then

you'll be dead,

and the dead don't feel anything,

not even regret.

My darling Lee,

I guess by the time you get this tape

you'll know that I'm dead

and, well, all that...

Maybe you're angry with me,

or hurt or sad or upset

or maybe you're all of it together.

I just want you to know

that I fell in love with you.

I didn't dare tell you 'cause

I thought you kind of knew,

and I didn't realize

I had so little time.

Actually, time is the one thing

I haven't had enough of recently.

Life is so much better

than you think, my love.

I know, because

you managed to fall in love with me

even though you saw,

what was it,

you said ten per cent?

Five maybe?

Maybe if you'd seen it all,

you wouldn't have liked me.

Or you would have liked me

in spite of everything.

I guess we'll never know.

Oh, and one last thing... Lee,

for God's sake

just paint your walls

and buy some furniture.

Alright? I don't want

the next woman you take home

to get the wrong idea about you

and run off before she gets

a chance to know you.

Not everyone's as crazy

as I am.

I loved dancing with you.
