My Dying Wife Asked Me to Find My First Love as Her Final Wish—When Claire Told Me Why, My Knees Nearly Gave Out

Margaret did not simply steal a letter.

She stole my ability to decide based on true information.

But she did not steal my entire adulthood.

I refused to give her that much authorship.

I made thousands of choices after Chicago.

Loved.
