Mrs. Carmella Prays

We are very, very interested in what Mrs. Carmella has to say. She is our guide for when we get old. She shows us a way to be in the face of sweet death. She tells us to plant seeds for Jesus. We don't know exactly what that means, but it is something that gives her comfort. And, because she is comforted, our own anxiety about the end lessens. Maybe death is not the end. Maybe we can extend ourselves after. Or maybe we will swirl into the void. Whatever happens, it is most likely that she will go before us. And we will see her on the other side where she will tell us stories of what happened before we arrived. And, she will remember us, and we will know who she is.
